Interlibrary Loan

If you can't find what you're looking for in the Great River Regional Library catalog, we can often borrow older materials for you  through Interlibrary Loan.  Libraries in Minnesota allow  you to request directly through MnLink or you may fill out a Title Request and staff will do it for you.  Interlibrary Loans out of state are handled through the Title Request form.

Minnesota Libraries

Libraries Worldwide

WorldCat

WorldCat allows you to search library catalogs all across the United States and around the world. When you find what you are looking for, fill out our Title Request form and our staff will work to obtain it for you.

Limitations: 

  • Items with Publication dates within the most recent 6 months are generally not available for Interlibrary Loan from outside Minnesota. 
  • Not all libraries offer free lending.  GRRL will not request a title for you without your prior approval of any possible charges.  If no free lenders are available, you will be notified.

Even if you can't find your item in the GRRL catalog, MnLINK or WorldCat, please fill out a Title Request and let us try to find it for you.
