Due to COVID-19, Interlibrary Loan service is temporarily suspended. If possible, pending Interlibrary Loan requests will be fulfilled and patrons will be notified if/when those requests arrive. For more information, please call 375-3380 or email reference@durangogov.org.
Interlibrary Loan allows Durango Public Library card holders to borrow materials we do not own from participating libraries throughout Colorado using the SWIFT system. Books, movies, music CDs, magazine/journal articles, and sheet music are types of items available through Interlibrary Loan.
If you would like to request an item that has been published in the last 12 months please fill out the Suggest a Title for Purchase form.
To register for ILL services, stop by the library and our staff will set-up your account. After initial set-up, your Interlibrary Loan account in SWIFT will be available to you from anywhere you have Internet access. You will not need to come to the library to place a request.
Items typically arrive within 7-21 days, though some may take up to 3-6 weeks or longer. When an item is ready for pick up, a notification will be sent to you.
