ILLtop Interlibrary Loan Interlibrary Loan is a materials borrowing service of the Library that provides patrons wider access to information and materials than what can be found in the library's catalog. By sharing resources with other public libraries, the patrons of the Washington County Public Library have access to hundreds of thousands of items that can usually be obtained in two to four weeks. If you would like for the library to locate and obtain materials that are not in our system, please fill out the appropriate form by clicking on a link below, call the library where you want to pickup up the item when it is available or come to any service desk. The cost of an Interlibrary Loan is $2.00 per item, starting February 1, 2009, and must be paid when the item is picked up. This includes all Interlibrary Loan Items except periodical articles.
