The following guidelines apply to ILL borrowing through the Huntington Beach Public Library:

• A patron must have a valid Huntington Beach Library card to request ILLs.

• Books requested must be at least one year old and be valued at more than $5.00.

• Most ILLs are received in 2-6 weeks.  However, there are many exceptions to this, so staff cannot give a specific date when an ILL will arrive.

• Books are to be picked up and returned to the Reference Desk.

• The loan period for ILL items is three weeks.

• ILLs may not be returned in the book drop.  Return ILLs to the Reference Desk.

• ILLs not returned by the date due are subject to overdue fees of $.25 per day, plus any fees assigned by the library owning the item.

• All checkout slips and paper strips on the book must be left intact.

• If the only available lender for an item charges a loan fee, patrons have the option of paying this additional fee in order to receive the material.  All free lending sources are pursued first.

• ILL items cannot be renewed.

• There are fees associated with ILL services.
