Request an Item

Interlibrary Loan Request Form

NOTE - This form is not for asking the library system to purchase a new book or putting a hold on a new book. Please ask a staff member if there is a new item the library should purchase or if you'd like to be placed on hold for a new book.

Please complete this form for each item that you would like to request that is not available in our catalog. If you need assistance or your library card number, please call your local library.

You may be able to find your item faster by searching our catalog. If one of our library locations has an item, you can place a hold on it directly from the catalog and receive it much faster. Search our catalog before placing your interlibrary loan request.

You may also find using our WorldCat database helpful to locate your item. It is a worldwide catalog of items own by libraries throughout the world. 

Please note that we do not accept requests of the following items:

  • Full magazines
  • Items published within the past 120 days
  • Textbooks currently being used by schools and colleges.
  • Self-published books, commonly available from Amazon etc. generally are not available through Interlibrary loan.
  • e-books (chapters or articles from an e-book may be requested.)
  • Video Games
  • Obsolete formats (VHS, Audio cassettes etc.)

We only request items located in libraries in the United States (including Alaska & Hawaii). We primarily deal with libraries that do not charge for lending.

For questions, concerns, or feedback regarding your existing Interlibrary Loan request, please contact ill@seolibraries.com

Disclaimer: Materials may not always be available. While most items arrive in 2-4 weeks, delivery time is not guaranteed. Charges may apply*.

* Some libraries charge before they lend their items. We will not request items from these libraries until we have contacted you for approval.

Please request an individual title. Fill this form out for each title you would like to request.
Check your author's name for accuracy; there's a difference between Stephen King and Steve King.
