Borrowing Items
Most of the items in the State Library are available for you to borrow via interlibrary loans at your local public library. To initiate an interlibrary loan, please make a note of the item details from the State Library catalogue and give the details to your local librarian. Your local librarian will request the items, which will be sent to your local library for you to borrow. Your local public library will return the item to the State Library once you have returned the item to them.
