  • There will be $3.00 charge for each  Interlibrary loan item requested beyond our circulation system to cover postage costs incurred by the library.

  • Lamination fees have increased to reflect the cost of materials.



Library Interlibrary Loan Policy Update

With eight years of frozen and reduced funding, the library is finding it necessary to reduce certain services for our customers.  Postage and other fees for interlibrary loan service have continued to increase as library funding has been reduced.
Due to these budgetary limitations, there will now be a five item limit for materials requested from out of the library's circulation system at a time. Upon the return of the five items, the patron may place requests for an additional five items. There will be a $3.00 charge for each item to cover postage costs incurred by the library.
Thank you for your understanding during these fiscally difficult times.
The Puskarich Public Library System
Sandi Thompson, Director
