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).

Inter-Library Loan Service has resumed as of June 17. Please see this post for more information.

 

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.

More Information

Inter-Library Loan Service:

The inter-library loan service is offered at no charge. Titles from within the last two (2) publication years cannot be borrowed through inter-library loan. Please see the Inter-Library Loan Policy for more information.

Items requested through inter-library loan may take four (4) to six (6) weeks to arrive. Members who do not pick up their ILLO requests will be billed a $2 fee.

Suggestions for Purchase:

Please check the Library Catalogue to ensure that the Library does not already own the item. The Library does not purchase all recommended titles. Suggestions will be evaluated according to our Material Selection Policy. Usually titles older than two years are not purchased. Requests for older, specialized or out-of-print items will be treated as Inter-Library Loan requests.
Please note that while the Library fills requests where possible, we may not be able to purchase certain digital items due to publisher restrictions.
