Fact: Though it would make our lives much easier if everything was freely available, many academic and out-of-state public libraries charge a fee to lend items or make photocopies.
CCPL does participate in Libraries Very Interested in Sharing (LVIS), a consortium of 1800+ libraries that agree to lend items for free. Also, these libraries will photocopy up to 30 pages free of charge. In most cases, we are able to fill requests using these libraries or other free lenders.
If an item is not freely available, we contact our patrons to give them the option of canceling the request or paying a lending fee.
