Interlibrary Loan

Guidelines

  • This service is available to any Sedona Library cardholder in good standing.
  • Borrow books, DVDs, CDs, articles, and more from libraries across the country not available in the Yavapai Library Network. 
  • There is a $3.00 fee if an item comes from a library outside of Arizona. 
  • You may limit your request to Arizona at no charge. Please be aware, this service is subject to availability.
  • If Sedona Public Library or other Yavapai Library Network library already owns an item, it is not eligible for ILL request.
  • When your item arrives, you will receive a phone or email notification to pick it up at the reference desk at Sedona Public Library or SPL in the Village.
  • Checkout periods and renewal requests for ILL materials are determined by the lending library. The average lending period is three weeks.
  • Each cardholder may have up to five active requests.
  • $.25 fee for each day an item is returned after its due date.
  • If you order an article, we may be able to deliver it electronically at no charge. If you require an article to be printed, there is a $.10 per page printing fee due at pickup. 

What Is Not Available through ILL?

  • New best sellers and books published within the last six months

Returning ILL Items

Please return them by the due date or contact the ILL department to request a renewal.  Be sure to allow at least one week for processing. Failure to return materials on time may jeopardize our borrowing privileges with other libraries. You are responsible for your ILL materials.
