What is Interlibrary Loan:
Need a book and the Lawton Public Library doesn't own it? The Interlibrary Loan staff
can search the holdings of many libraries throughout the country by using automated databases.
When to Use It:
If needed books or periodicals are not in Lawton's collection, the Library will attempt to locate
them in another library and borrow them for you.
Who May Use Interlibrary Loan:
Anyone who has a Lawton Public Library card may request Interlibrary Loans.
Plan Ahead:
Allow for a minimum of two weeks from the time of submitting a request until
receiving the material (although materials sometimes arrive sooner). Some items
classified as genealogy or reference, and very recent publications, are not possible
to borrow through Interlibrary Loan. Be sure to give a daytime phone number and a
current address and you will be notified by the Interlibrary Loan Technician as soon
as the requested materials arrive.
Initiating Requests:
Obtain an Interlibrary Loan request form from the Reference Desk.
Ask a Librarian for assistance in completing the form accurately.
Turn in the completed form at the Reference Desk.
There will be a $1.00 charge for each item requested when you pick it up.
Can't find the book you want in our library catalog?
We can request it for you from another library, and you can pick it up at the Lawton Public Library!
This form is for making an Interlibrary Loan request. Please fill in the fields below and we will
attempt to get the item you requested. If we are able to borrow the item from a participating library,
there will be a $1.00 charge per item when you pick it up.
