Lending Fees
Interlibrary Loan allows patrons to request titles that aren’t available in the
Minuteman Library Network
or the
Commonwealth Catalog
. We reach out to a national network of libraries to see if we can find a copy you can borrow.
Rules
Some materials cannot be borrowed through ILL, including but not limited to:
Anything published in the past 12 months
Video games
Textbooks
Archival materials
Items with questionable copyright status
Please limit your transactions to 5 at any time (including requests and checked out materials).
Items must be returned to one of the three Public Library of Brookline locations (Brookline Village, Coolidge Corner, or Putterham), with all paperwork still attached. Materials returned elsewhere will incur a $4 fine, and materials returned without paperwork will also incur a $4 fine.
The lending library determines the due date; requests for renewals must be made at least 7 business days in advance. Renewals are not guaranteed, and items will incur late fees until a new due date is issued.
You are responsible for any fees for damaged or lost materials.

Some libraries charge a fee to borrow their books through ILL. These usually range from $15-$30, but may go even higher. We make every effort to borrow materials from libraries that do not charge.
