Interlibrary Loans or Interloans

Information about how we can get items on loan for you which we do not hold in our libraries, from other libraries in New Zealand and Australia.
Updated: 11/12/2019 10:37 a.m.

Looking for something we don't have?

Through our interlibrary loan service we can get items from other libraries in New Zealand or Australia, should any of our libraries not hold the item you require.

This service includes not only books, but also newspaper or magazine articles, music scores, microfilms, theses, research papers, industrial standards, reports and more.

Audio books, DVDs and CDs may also be available.

No interloan services over Christmas and New Year period

​We will not be accepting interloan requests between 23 December 2019 and 5 January 2020.
This because interloan services at other libraries are closed during this period.
