Requesting items

If you can’t find the title you are looking for in North Wales, we can search libraries across Wales for you. Requesting a title from within Wales is free of charge. We can also search libraries outside of Wales, and placing an Inter-Library Loan request costs £12.00 per item.

Lost, stolen or damaged items

If an item is lost, stolen or damaged while on loan to you, we will charge based on the actual cost of replacement, plus a £7.00 processing fee. If the item belongs to another library service, we will charge based upon the lending library’s policy, plus a processing fee.
