Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service offered by the Hobart Public Library through OCLC Worldshare Interlibrary Loan. This service provides access to library books that are not currently held in our collections.
Library staff will be happy to request a title on your behalf from another library within the United States including Alaska and Hawaii. The lending library will send it directly to your local library for you to pick up to read and enjoy. When finished reading, you will return it by the due date to your local library who will then send it back to the lending library.
If you have questions about the ILL process, ask your library staff for more information or call us at (580) 726-2535.
