Do you need a book or magazine article that the Free Library of Philadelphia does not own? Contact the Interlibrary Loan department, and we will borrow it for you from another library somewhere in the U.S.

Before you can use our online system, please go through the following steps:

Step 1: Please read our guidelines first.

(download the Interlibrary Loan - A User's Guide pdf for more detailed information.)

Step 2: Have your library card and PIN ready.

Users must have a valid library card and a valid PIN from the Free Library.

• If you don't have a library card, please register for a card.
• If you don't have a PIN, please call the Interlibrary Loan office at (215) 686-5360, e-mail illrequest@freelibrary.org or visit your nearest Free Library branch.
• If you have any questions, please view the ILL FAQ or contact the Interlibrary Loan office.

Step 3: Register with our Interlibrary Loan System.
