Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a cooperative resource sharing service that allows customers to borrow materials from other library systems within the United States that are not owned by Fairfax County Public Library. Please check our catalog to make sure we do not own an item before requesting it through ILL 

This service is available to Fairfax County Public Library cardholders who live, work, attend school or own property in Fairfax County and have an account in good standing (not barred or blocked). Reciprocal borrowers are not eligible to borrow interlibrary loan material through Fairfax County Public Library,  They will need to contact the library in the jurisdiction in which they live to borrow ILL items.
