There are four types of item requests you can do with your library card:

• Reservations - reserve an item from our catalogue
• Suggest a purchase – make a suggestion to the library to purchase an item
• Inter Library Loan - request to borrow an item from another library service
• Language Bulk Loan Requests – request a borrowing collection in a community language from the State Library

Is an item you are searching for currently on loan or at another location? You can place a reservation to become the next in line to borrow the item and have it delivered to your Georges River Library of choice.

Can’t find an item in our collection? You can submit a suggestion to the library to purchase titles. Simply fill in the Suggest a Purchase form.

It may be possible to obtain material not listed on our Library Catalogue from outside our Library Service through our Inter-Library Resources Sharing Scheme.

A $7.50 Fee applies for any requested item received from another Public Library Service.

Any item only available at a University Library or Special Library will incur a higher cost. If this is the case, you will be contacted and the request will only be sent to the University or Special Library if you agree to the quoted fee.

The Loaning library determines the length of the loan.

Renewals may be possible depending on the Loaning Library.

To place an inter-library loan please fill in the ILL request form

No Fee applies for Language Bulk Loans: Please state Language, Age group, Fiction Genre Required (Romance, Crime, ETC) and Subjects for Non-Fiction (Politics, Gardening, ETC).

The $7.50 fee applies for any single requested title in another language.
