Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan is a service provided by the Mooresville Public Library to enable users to obtain items that are not owned by the library. Simply fill out a request form online or at the Reference desk and the Library will contact other libraries to see if they are willing to lend a particular item.

Who may borrow through interlibrary loan?
Anyone 18 years of age or older with a current Mooresville Public Library card with no current fines on their record may use the interlibrary loan service.

What kinds of items may be requested?
Books may be requested through interlibrary loan six months after their publication date. We do not take requests for books that are owned by the Mooresville Public Library or for audiovisual materials (CDs, DVDs, audio books, etc.)

How many items may be requested?
You may have a total of two active requests at one time. This includes requests that are in process and materials that have been received.

How much does it cost?
The Mooresville Public Library absorbs the costs of this service for patrons. However, the borrower will be fined $3.00 for any interlibrary loan materials that are not picked up in order to recover the shipping cost. Additionally, late fines for interlibrary loan materials are $1.00 per day.
