Interlibrary Loan

Notice: We are suspending requests for A/V materials (including DVDs, CDs, and Books on Tape). All current requests, received prior to Monday, July 13, 2009, will be honored.

Interlibrary Loan is a service for Nashville Public Library cardholders to obtain materials not owned by the library. The Interlibrary Loan office will attempt to obtain requested items from other libraries in the United States.

There is a limit of 5 requests per library card at any one time.

Search the Library Catalog to see if Nashville Public Library owns the material you need. If the library owns the item, you may place a hold on circulating items using your library card. If you are unable to find what you need, you may request the item using Interlibrary Loan.

Alternatively, use the Suggestion Form to alert the library to materials you would like added to the collection.

Items that are owned by the Nashville Public Library cannot be requested on Interlibrary Loan.
