Interlibrary Loan
Looking for an item not owned by the Warren County Library System? We can try to borrow it from another library through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) as long as it was published at least a year ago. The lending library determines the due date of the item. In order to request an ILL, fill out a request slip at the circulation desk. You will need to provide information such as author, title, or ISBN number in order for the staff to locate the item. You will be notified when the item arrives. For more information regarding ILL, you can contact the ILL staff: 908-818-1280. You can also request items directly through JerseyCat, our interlibrary loan system. Read our Interlibrary Loan Policy for details.
