If PCC Library does not own a copy of a book that you need, we can see if another library is able to loan it to you through our interlibrary loan (ILL) service. Just fill out the ILL form as completely as possible. Once the book arrives, we will contact you so that you can pick it up. 

Keep in mind...

• Cost: FREE!
• Libraries do not usually purchase or loan textbooks. 
• Allow 5-10 business days for processing and delivery.
