Inter Library Loans

An Inter-Library Loan Service is available to all members of High Life Highland Libraries. This service seeks to provide access to material not held by Highland Libraries. We also supply our own material to other libraries and institutions.

What is Inter Library Loan?

Inter-Library Loan (ILL) is the process by which our library requests material from, or supplies material to, another library. Highland Library users can request materials not owned by Highland Libraries through Inter Library Loan.
