Interlibrary Loan

The Cornell Public Library is happy to provide the Interlibrary Loan system for our patrons. If there is an item we don't own, we are always happy to try to borrow it from another library for our patron upon request.

Library patrons with a request:

Can call in their request to library staff 715-239-3709
Send an email to: publiclibrary@cornellpl.org
Or make the request in person at the library. Library staff will then put the request into WISCAT.

Patrons are notified by telephone when the item has been received at our library.

Patrons are asked to remember that newer items are usually not available for several months. The availablity of the item will depend on the age, demand, and the number of holdings throughout the state.

There is no charge for our patrons to use this service.

The only cost that could occur, would be for items lost or damaged by the patron.
