ILLO service continues to be on pause while we transition to a new request processing system. We apologize for the inconvenience.

What is Interlibrary Loan?

If HPL does not own a copy of an item that a customer needs, the customer can request that we borrow the item from another library in Ontario or Canada.

Are there any restrictions?

We are unable to provide the following types of materials:

New Books (24 Months); Bestsellers
Rare And Fragile Books
DVDs, Blu-rays and Games
Any item that is available for less than $5.00 through Amazon.ca
Articles that are available full-text through our online resources

Please note the following limitations:

A limit of five (5) member requests per month
One title per request form.
These requests usually take approximately four to six weeks to fill, and requests filled from outside of Ontario often take longer
We cannot guarantee fulfillment by a certain date.
Items borrowed through interlibrary loan cannot be renewed.
Late and Replacement fees still apply to Interlibrary Loan material ($1.00 per day and $25.00 replacement fee.)
