Items can be delivered to your interlibrary loan patrons even faster with the IHLS Delivery On the Go service!
If you notice that an item you pull is for a library after you on your library’s IHLS Delivery route, you can help the receiving library’s patron get it faster by using the Delivery On the Go service—and others can do the same for you! The IHLS Delivery On the Go service enables qualifying items* to be delivered to the receiving library that very same day. Same route, same day.

IHLS Delivery is dedicated to serving our library members in a safe and effective manner. Recently, IHLS Delivery drivers and sorters have reported several instances of libraries overfilling tubs in weight or volume. This can lead to two main problems for libraries and for IHLS--both of which your library can help avoid.

Welcome back, school library staff! We hope you had a great summer.
The first day of school delivery started on Aug. 23, 2021. We are no longer quarantining items at the IHLS hub locations, so interlibrary loan items will be delivered on a normal schedule. Please return any bags you may have from the previous school year by sending them with your IHLS Delivery driver. If you have any questions, please reach out to your hub manager.
