Interlibrary Loan
We will obtain materials from other libraries for Pequannock Township residents. Some books, of interest to only a few readers, may not be purchased by our library. We are able to obtain books from out-of-county libraries for you. We will call you when the book you requested has arrived for you to pick up at the Pequannock Library.
When we extend the search to non-public libraries and libraries out of state, there may be a postage and handling charge incurred to obtain the item,  Most items can be sent via interlibrary loan at no charge.  A few libraries also charge for the service of loaning a book, but this is rare; in cases we ask you to cover the cost.
In cases where we request photocopies of documents for you, we may be charged for the copies and would ask you to cover the cost.
