If you are looking for an item
not in the Payson Public Library collection, we will try to
borrow it for you from another library within the State of Arizona
through our Inter-Library Loan service.
Simply fill out the
“Inter-Library Loan” request form for the book you want (a valid
Gila County library card is needed).
ILL Request forms and assistance
are available at the front desk. |
Since the cost to our Library
for processing each request is approximately $25, we do ask that you only
request books that are a true necessity and limit your requests to two books per
month.
All items requested via ILL must
be picked up at the Payson Public Library.
FAQ's not answered below, can be directed to
the front desk at the Payson Library.
Interlibrary Loan
(ILL) is a program which enables materials from
one library to be borrowed by a patron at another library. It is a
privilege extended to library users through the voluntary cooperation of
libraries and its success depends on responsible use by all parties.
(Please Note: We cannot request materials simply
because our copies are checked out.)
The overdue process is
the same as in-house books, except that the fines are $1.00 per day for
each day that the book is overdue.
Patron’s are responsible for
any damage to ILL materials they
borrow, and fees will be assessed by the lending library.

How much does
it cost to use this service?
Most usual fees associated with ILL service, such as
database searching and shipping, are paid by the library.
Borrowers are responsible for any
unusual fees charged by the lending library but will be contacted
for approval before such items are requested. Borrowers
are also responsible for any charges incurred for lost or damaged
items, for overdue charges at a cost of $1.00 per item per day and
for photocopying fees where applicable.

What
materials are available through the ILL program?
Although ILL was developed as a tool for researchers,
any patron in good
standing may use this service to request books not owned by the
Payson Library.
Libraries generally do
not lend reference materials, current bestsellers, rare or valuable
items or items from special collections.
A maximum of 3 requests per week per patron may be placed.
Although most libraries
will not lend entire magazines, some do
provide photocopies of individual articles for a fee.
When requesting magazine articles,
patrons are responsible for per page
photocopying charges.

How do I request
materials through ILL?
Request forms and
assistance are available at the Library

What if I
no longer need the item I requested?
A processing fee
of $3.00 will be charged for all items requested,
but not picked up by a borrower.
Please contact the
Library Reference Desk should requested materials no longer
be needed. If the request can be
cancelled before the items are sent by the lending library, this fee
will be waived.

How
long does it take to receive a requested item?
Delivery of ILL items can take from 1 – 6 weeks

response time.

item arrives and will hold it for 3 business days at the front desk. A processing
fee of $3.00 will be charged for all items that are not picked up in 3
business days.
