Interlibrary loan service is provided through the cooperation of individual libraries statewide and nationwide, the Nebraska Library Commission, the Central Plains Library System, and OCLC.
Patrons requesting items not currently owned by the Kearney Public Library may request interlibrary loan service to borrow these items.
Patrons requesting interlibrary loan service must be Kearney Public Library cardholders in good standing and must use their own card.
A $4.50 service fee per item is assessed for each transaction upon receipt of the borrowed item or items. Fees for items requested and received by the library but not picked up by the requesting patron are attached to the patron’s record.
Overdue fees for interlibrary loan items are the same as for items borrowed from the Kearney Public Library (see Fines and Charges).
Lost items are handled as regular lost library materials (see Lost and Damaged Materials).
Damaged materials fees are assessed by the lending agency.
Renewal of interlibrary loan materials is at the discretion of the lending agency.
Microfilm may be requested through interlibrary loan.
Fees for microfilm requests vary depending on the lending agency. The Nebraska State Historical Society’s current rate will be applied in advance.
Microfilm is for in-library use only.
The library reserves the right to suspend interlibrary loan privileges due to abuse.
