Inter-Library Loan

Inter-Library Loan ServiceWhat is ILLO

  • If you have a Cobourg Library account in good standing, please speak to submit an Inter-Library Loan request.
  • Requests may also be submitted over the phone (905-372-9271 ext 6220)
    or by email.
  • Requests can only be made by using an Adult or Youth Library card (ages 13 and older).
  • When you submit a request, our Inter-Library Loan staff send the request out to other participating libraries in the province.
