Interlibrary Loan is a service provided to the patrons of the El Paso Public Library to obtain materials not owned by or available from the El Paso Public Library System.
Anyone who has a valid El Paso Public Library card with fines totaling less than $1.00, and with no overdue items, may request materials through ILL.

ILL requests may be made in person or by phone at any El Paso Public Library branch.
You may also download one of the forms to the right, fill it out, and drop it off at your neighborhood library the next time you visit.  You may also mail the form to ILL at:

   El Paso Public Library
   Inter-Library Loan
   501 N. Oregon
   El Paso, TX   79901

Please make sure that you fill in as much information as you can.  Please include your phone number so that we may contact you.  Please note the following "Golden Rules" to the right.
Limits

Patrons may have up to ten (10) active requests at any time.

An active request is a request that has been sent to the ILL office and is in the process of being ordered, or a request that has been received and is either in the patron’s possession or awaiting pickup.

Once an item has been returned to the ILL office, it is no longer considered an active request. If you are unsure how many active requests you currently have, please feel free to call the ILL office.
