Inter-library loans
If you' re looking for an item that is not stocked at Cambridge Library, we may be able to order it in for you via inter-library loan.
Request an Inter-Library Loan
Changes to the inter-library loans service (from 1 September 2018) mean that we are no longer able to request the following:
- New items (12 months or under)
- DVD and audio
Exceptions will be made for library members with special needs. Please see Frequently Asked Questions for further information.
Suggest a purchase
If an item is not available to order, or you feel it would be a valuable addition to the collection, you may wish to suggest a purchase.
Renew a loan
Items cannot be renewed if:
- the item is an inter-library loan
- the item has been requested by another library member
- the item has been renewed previously (an item can only be renewed once)
