The Joint-Use Library outside book drop is out of service. Please return materials inside the library or at any other VBPL location.
If you would like to obtain a book or article not available in the Virginia Beach Public Library system, an interlibrary loan service is available that can access collections nationwide and obtain many items for just the cost of return postage.
For customers with current Virginia Beach Public Library accounts (or 1 year resident accounts):
Your library account needs to be current and free of any fines, with no blocks. Teen and youth library accounts are not eligible for Interlibrary loan service. Please contact a Virginia Beach Public Library near you for more information.
For others outside the Virginia Beach Public Library system who would like to borrow from our collection:
Please contact your local library to initiate an Interlibrary Loan transaction. Interlibrary loan is a library to library transaction. VBPL is a free lender.
For other library systems that would like to borrow from our collection:
VBPL is a free lender and loans books (no audio-visual material) for 60 days (no renewals). There is no charge for copies, when following copyright guidelines, from serials or reference/genealogical materials.
You may contact us through OCLC (our symbol: VPL), by fax (757) 431-3741 or email.
