Interlibrary Loan Temporarily Halted

We regret to inform you that interlibrary loan (ILL) will be temporarily halted beginning Monday, June 10th.

The Maine State Library has alerted us to expect an interruption of interlibrary loan delivery through at least the second week of August (six weeks from July 1st). Unfortunately, this is the result of a contract dispute with the van delivery service and the legal process is completely out of our hands. 

Camden Public Library patrons can still utilize our Reciprocal Borrowing agreements with local public libraries (such as Rockport, Rockland, and Belfast) to check out their materials in person with an active Camden Library card.

We apologize for the inconvenience and truly wish we could do something more about it! 

If you have any questions about this interruption of interlibrary loan service, please visit the Maine State Library’s FAQ’s website and feel free to contact Beth Crist, Director of Special Projects, and Lori Fisher, State Librarian, with any questions or comments: beth.crist@maine.gov, 207-287-9581; or lori.fisher@maine.gov, 207-287-5604.
