Orem Library patrons who cannot find specific materials in the local collection can utilize the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service to request items from other libraries throughout the country.
Eligibility Requirements
To access this service, users must possess an Orem Library card.
Shipping Costs and Fees
Patrons are responsible for all postage costs associated with ILL items, with charges typically ranging between $3 and $7.
Renewal and Overdue Policies
Regarding item maintenance, renewals should be requested one week before the due date when available, though some libraries may not permit renewals. Orem Library imposes overdue fees of $1 per day for ILL items, noting that the loaning library may also apply its own overdue charges.
Importance of Timely Returns
Timely returns are emphasized as being especially important to ensure the Orem Library does not lose its loaning privileges with other institutions.
Material Restrictions and Guidelines
The library maintains restrictions on certain materials. Items that the Orem Library collection development staff or Library Advisory Commission deem pornographic, as defined by Utah State Code, Title 76-10-1203, will not be made available through the Interlibrary Loan service.
