What is ILL?

InterLibrary Loan is a service of State Library and Archives of Florida provided statewide to all library locations. Libraries borrow and lend materials to one another for items not owned by the requesting patron’s library.

Navigator allows patrons to place a request for an item not owned by their library, if it meets the requirements listed below. Request processing and shipping takes 2-6 weeks. Fees apply for unreturned items.
