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)
- Junior and young adult titles
- DVD and audio
Exceptions will be made for library members with special needs. Please see Frequently Asked Questions for further information.
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)
