Our Services-Request an Item From Another Library

If we do not have an item, there are several ways we may be able to find it for you through our:

Interlibrary loans

Brantford Public Library members can borrow items from other libraries through an interlibrary loan service. Materials that can be borrowed from other libraries include books and DVDs. All materials requested through our interlibrary loan service must be more than five years old and not currently in our catalogue. We do not guarantee that all requests can be filled. Prior to using this service:

  • Check the Library Catalogue
  • A limit of five (5) requests per month
  • Newer items, less than five years old, should be requested through our Suggest a Purchase form below
