Request Interlibrary Loan

Cardholders may request to borrow items not available in the Llano County Library System (LCLS) collection, from another library. There is a $3.15 fee for postage for every book ordered.

Each cardholder is limited to 3 requests at a time. The lending library determines the due date.

There are three ways to place interlibrary loan (ILL) requests.
  1. Log into a LCLS account and click on TEXAS ILL SYSTEM. This allows you to locate the exact item you want and put in the ILL request. This is the most efficient system as it minimizes the need for staff to input data.
  2. Log in to your LCLS account and click on "My Account".
  3. Come to the Library and fill out an ILL form.
