Interlibrary Loan

The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh serves as the district center for interlibrary loans. All public libraries in Allegheny County benefit from this valuable service.

• The interlibrary loan form is to be used to request items NOT found in The Catalog.
• Re-check your search in The Catalog by asking your librarian for assistance, or go to Help for suggestions on how to improve your search.
• If the item you are searching for is not in The Catalog, but is brand new (i.e. bestseller), please fill out the Suggest a Purchase form since we cannot accept these as interlibrary loan requests.
• Fill out as much of the interlibrary loan form as you know.
• One item per request, please.
• You must have a current library card from any Member Library.
• Interlibrary loans often take 4-6 weeks to fill.
