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:
- Interlibrary loans
- Suggest a purchase
Interlibrary loans
Beginning August 8, our Interlibrary Loan service will be temporarily paused while Library staff prepare for the opening of our new Shellard Lane Branch.
The service will resume this fall. Thank you for your understanding as we get ready to serve our growing community.
Brantford Public Library members can borrow books from other libraries through an interlibrary loan service. 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
Suggest a purchase
Do you have a suggestion for an item to add to our collection? Fill out the Suggest a Purchase Form.
We will consider the addition of materials in accordance with our Collection Development Policy.
Before you make a request:
- Check the Library Catalogue
- Item must already be available for sale or presale
Brantford Public Library members can also join the Six Nations Public Library, County of Brant Public Library, and Cambridge Public Library for free.
