Inter-library Loan
If the library doesn’t have a book that you’re looking for, you can request an Inter-library Loan. For an inter-library loan, we look for another library that has the book and borrow it from them for you. It’s a great way to get hard-to-find items, but it does come at a cost of $4 to cover postage.
Select ‘Select-Reads Newsletters’
If you would like to learn more about library items you might be interested in and keep up with what’s new in the library’s collection, you might be interested in Select Reads Newsletters. You can pick your favorite genres, and each month they will send you a list of items in that genre that are available at the Radford Public Library!
