Your library card needs to be current, free of any fines, and not blocked. Teen and youth library cards and 3-month non-resident cards are not eligible for Interlibrary Loan service. Please contact a Virginia Beach Public Library near you to initiate an Interlibrary Loan request. Borrowers must agree to pay shipping costs and any additional fees charged by lending libraries.
Please contact your local library to initiate an Interlibrary Loan transaction. An interlibrary loan is a library-to-library transaction. VBPL is a free lender.
Virginia Beach Public Library is a free lender. We loan books (no audio-visual materials) for 60 days. There is no charge for copies when following copyright guidelines, from serials or reference/genealogical materials.
