Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary loan is a service which borrows books, videos, sound recordings, microfilm, photocopies, etc. when the requested items are not available at any Tulsa City-County Library. We borrow items from many public, academic, and special libraries throughout the country.

Will I be notified of unavailable material?
