INTERLIBRARY LOANS:
Cost of postage will be charged to patrons for each Interlibrary loan item which must be returned to the lending library by mail. If the lending library requests postage reimbursement for sending the item to and/or requests that the item be insured when returned to them, then these additional expenses will be passed along to the patron. All postage costs MUST BE PAID by the patron.
Interlibrary Loans (ILLs) are available to adult library patrons in good standing. Please consider the following before requesting an ILL:
That this is not requesting an item from another Burnet County Library branch.
Postage must be paid for when you pick up the item. It is usually between $3.00 and $5.00.
Request times will vary and it may take up to 6 weeks to get an item. Usually we get it in one to two weeks.
The lending library sets the circulation time frame. We do not have control over this. It can range from 2 weeks to a month.
Some lending libraries allow renewals. Others do not. We can always submit a renewal request it if needed.
Overdue fees are $1.00/day late.
Items can be returned in the book drop but they have to be returned to the branch they were requested at.
You will be held responsible for any damages or lost items.
