- On the phone (you must have your library account number handy)

Additional Information
Interlibrary Loan -- This service is on pause until further notice.
If you would like to borrow a book not owned by Orange County Public Library, you may request an interlibrary loan to borrow books from another library system. You may make interlibrary loan requests in person at any Orange County Public Library location. We will require a processing fee of $3 at the time you make your request.
