The Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Service attempts to get materials you need from other libraries’ collections. Please check the FSPL Library Catalogue before placing any requests.

Please note:

• Relais D2D has been launched and this is the new system for requesting an Interlibrary Loan item.
• Items from the Strathcona County Library can be requested by placing a hold on items in the FSPL Library’s Catalogue.
• Requests are accepted from all customers with a valid Fort Saskatchewan Public Library card in good standing. You must use your own card when you request an interlibrary loan.
• Items published within the past year cannot be requested. If you would like FSPL to purchase the item, please see “Suggest a Purchase” for more details.
• Requests are limited to 10 items per patron at a given time.
• Depending on the material, an interlibrary loan may take 3 to 6 weeks to obtain.

You can return materials at any participating TAL library. Note that certain special collections may not be available through the TAL program. Loan periods and overdue fines may vary by library – ask the borrowing library for more information about their policies.
