Inter-Library Loan

Materials not owned by Spring Lake District Library may be borrowed from other Lakeland Library Cooperative libraries. You may request materials by calling or visiting the library, or through the internet by using the online catalog to place holds. You will be notified when the item has been delivered and is available for you to pick up.

If no library within Lakeland Library Cooperative owns the item you want, it may be "superloaned" from outside the Cooperative for a fee.
