The Gretna Public Library is able to access and borrow materials from many types of libraries, including public, academic, and special collections. Patrons are able to request these items through the interlibrary loan program.

By requesting to interlibrary loan an item, borrowers are responsible for paying a $3.00 postage fee per item. The proper care of these borrowed materials is crucial, just as it is important to care for your home library’s materials. Materials must be returned directly to the Gretna Public Library, and will be subject to the policies of the lending library in regard to borrowing time limit and the possibility of renewal. These are materials borrowed from another institution and if we want to preserve the right to borrow, the materials must be returned courteously and in a timely manner.

Gretna Public Library takes an annual pause in ILL requests and will not be placing new requests from August 15th to September 15th each year.

Please contact us for more information.
