Materials not owned by the Greensboro Public Library may be available from another library in the United States through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). To utilize ILL customers must have a Greensboro Public Library card in good standing. Faculty and students of universities and colleges should contact their institutions for academic ILLs. GPL ILL staff reserves the right to refuse requests that appear to support academic curricula.

It usually takes between 2 – 7 weeks for an ILL to arrive. Customers may have five requests in process at one time, and a total of 25 requests per year. GPL will not process requests for the same item within a six-month period. Customers will be notified by email or phone when requests arrive.

All requested ILL items must be picked up from and returned to the Circulation Desk at Central Library, 219 North Church Street. Items cannot be sent to library branches.

Customers must return materials by the due date to Central Library. Renewals are not allowed.

Customers who abuse the interlibrary loan privilege in any way may have that privilege revoked.

GPL will not request the following:

• Audiovisual materials.
• Materials published in the last twelve months.
• Materials that are already part of GPL's collection. Customers should place reserves on circulating materials.
• Materials lost or missing from GPL's collection that are still in print and appropriate to replace.
• Materials from outside the United States.

Anyone who submits a form should be aware that in accordance with the North Carolina Public Records law, found in North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 132, their e-mail address is considered public record.

I have checked the catalog and the library does not own a copy of this item.

My library account is in good standing without any fees or overdue materials.
My Account

I understand materials published within the past 12 months are unavailable for request.

I understand and agree the following rules:

• I will retrieve and return items inside the Central Library.
• I will pay for any damages, late fees, or lending fees as determined by the lending library.
• Items with lending fees will be added to the customer’s account if the item is not picked up.
• Items with lending fees will be charged to the customer’s account if not picked up.

I understand that rare books, genealogy material, reference books, and expensive books are difficult to obtain.

Please review your request and submit it. Thank you.
