Howard County Library
 
Interlibrary Loan


If we do not own a specific item, it can usually be found via Marina (a statewide method of requesting items from other Maryland public libraries).  If you are unable to find materials via Marina, a request can be made from Maryland academic libraries and out-of-state libraries.

Many types of materials can be requested through interlibrary loans; however, a number of institutions do not lend new or audiovisual materials.  There may be additional fees (you will be contacted prior to ordering for approval) from out-of-state loaning libraries. Fees are payable at the time of pick up.
