Potential charges 

Materials are first requested from In-Network Georgia libraries. These libraries do not charge for lending materials and utilize a statewide Interlibrary Loan courier for delivery.

If the title is not available from an In-Network Library, you can opt in to use Out-of-Network libraries. These libraries do not charge for lending materials but they utilize U.S. mail for delivery. There will be a $4.00 charge for each title borrowed from an out-of-network library. Charges will not be posted to your account unless we are able to fill your request. You will be responsible for all charges even if you do not pick up your interlibrary loan.

Damaged or Lost items

Patrons will be responsible for lost materials or any damages, including damage incurred by returning item in outside bookdrop. Fines and fees are determined by the lending library and may be significantly higher than SRLS fines and fees.
