PVLD Adult Services Blog

 Patrons of the Palos Verdes Library District can search the collections of more than 10,000 libraries locally and worldwide with their home computers, laptops or iPhones.  Through the WorldCat database PVLD is an active participant in Interlibrary Loan, a process by which libraries share their resources with one another. Requests are accepted for materials that are not found in PVLD’s catalog.   

Interlibrary loan requests are accepted for books, magazine articles, microfilm, musical scores, dissertations, and conference proceedings. Loan requests are not accepted for DVDs, videos, audiobooks, CDs, or new books published within the last 6 months. There is a non-refundable $2 charge to initiate each request. For a full listing of the Interlibrary Loan policies and for an overview of how to search the WorldCat database, click here.
