Interlibrary Loan

Can I borrow from other libraries?
There are several ways to do this. If the library doesn’t own a title you want, we can try to borrow it for you from another library. This is called an Interlibrary Loan (ILL). We can borrow items from most libraries throughout the United States. This puts us in touch with over 200 million items. This service is not limited to just books. You may ask for books on disk or tape; movies; educational films; magazine articles; etc.! You can search online for materials you may wish to borrow by using Jersey Cat, or you can call the library and we will be happy to do the searching for you.

There are some limits though; we may not be able to borrow something that is too new or too rare and it may take a few weeks for the title to arrive.

Requests can be made by phone, email or in person.

The second way allows you free access to 6 other local libraries. Through a program called LOTS (Libraries Organized To Share), you can apply for a free library card at any of the following libraries:

                                    Franklin Township Public Library
                                    Free Public Library of Monroe Township
                                    James H. Johnson Memorial Library (Deptford)
                                    McCowan Memorial Library (Pitman)
                                    Westville Public Library
                                    Woodbury Public Library

The way this works is once you have a library card with us, we can give you an application for any (or all) of the above libraries. You take the application to the library of your choice. They will issue you a free card following their own rules and regulations. This allows you full access to their collections!
