Interlibrary Loans

Interlibrary loan (ILL) and resource sharing services allow patrons of PRL member libraries to access information and materials from:

  • Parkland Regional Library’s headquarters collections (reference, professional development, large print, audio books)
  • Public and school libraries within the Parkland Regional Library System
  • Member libraries of The Alberta Library (TAL)
  • Libraries across Canada and in the United States

Patrons may use TAL Online to request any item that is not owned by a library within Parkland, but is available from another Alberta library. If an item is not owned by a library in Alberta, library staff can create a request for it on a patron's behalf, and we may be able to borrow it from a library outside the province.

Information on interlibrary loan procedures for Parkland member library staff is located under Training & Resources > Interlibrary Loans.
