Interlibrary Loan Policy

1. The library is unable to borrow items published in the current calendar year.
2. The library is unable to borrow bound periodicals (magazines), but will request photocopies on microfilm.
3. ILL cannot borrow items printed before 1900.  We will try to borrow these materials in reprint or microform, if available.
4. Patrons owing fines of $10.00 or more and/or lost materials may not request interlibrary loans until the fines have been reduced, a payment plan is in place, and/or the lost materials are cleared.  The library will not process ILL requests for patrons with overdue ILL materials.
5. Patrons are limited to five interlibrary loan requests in active status, total, for all libraries in Washington County.  The Forest Grove Library will not process any requests unless there are fewer than five active requests on the patron's account.  Patrons need to check their accounts before requesting loans.
6. Materials must be returned by their due date.
7. Copyright laws apply to all interlibrary loans.

Fee Policy

Lending Library Fees:  The library will always try to borrow items from libraries that lend free of charge.  If a free source is not available, the patron will be required to pay the charges.  The patron will be notified and given opportunity to decline the requested materials and the lending library fees.  If the patron accepts charges for requested materials, the patron must be prepared to pay charges at the time of checkout.  Payments can only be made in the form of a check.
