Clarington Public Library welcomes suggestions for additions to the collection, and we can often get items from another library system if we do not presently own a copy.

You may request to borrow an item from another library system (Inter-Library Loan Service)*, and/or recommend Clarington Public Library purchase the item (Suggestions for Purchase).

If you are an active Clarington Public Library member, you have the option of using the Self-Serve Interlibrary Loan (ILLO) service*. To set up and begin using your Self-Serve ILLO account, please contact Information Services, 905-623-7322 x2712, or visit any branch.

*Inter-Library Loan Service has been suspended until May 31st due to provincial government funding cuts to the Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS) and the Ontario Library Service-North (OLSN). 

Please note that while the Library fills requests where possible, we may not be able to purchase certain digital items due to publisher restrictions.

Information on this form is collected under the authority of the Public Libraries Act 1990 and is used for the purposes of Library services and planning. Please direct any inquiries to Library Administration, 905-623-7322.
