As announced on the Canada Post web site, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has begun a national strike as of November 15, 2024. While we are accepting interlibrary loan requests from our patrons at this time, the process to request these materials will not begin until after the strike has ended.
Requesting an Interlibrary Loan
Once you’re sure that The Blue Mountains Public Library does not have the item you’re looking for, you can request it through our interlibrary loan service. To determine whether we already own the title, please search our online catalogue.
