I've been on the waiting list forever . . .

Can I get a CCPL item that has a long waiting list via interlibrary loan?

If CCPL owns an item, we cannot borrow that item from another library. We cannot deprive another library system of a popular item just because we have a waiting list. If the waiting list is excessively long, CCPL may purchase more copies.

If all of CCPL's copies are lost (checked out & not returned) or missing from our shelves, we can try to find the item in another library system.

If the item is on the shelf at another CCPL branch, you may place a hold through the CCPL library catalog online or contact the branch directly to obtain the item. If you have trouble with the library catalog, our reference staff will be glad to help you (call 805-6930).
