​Interlibrary Loan Services

Interlibrary Loan (ILL), also known as Resource Sharing, provides material that is not available in the Broward County Library (BCL) collection.

BCL card holders can borrow resources such as books, audiovisuals, newspaper and periodical articles, microfilm and musical scores from libraries located across the United States.

Requests can be placed through the WorldCat database or at any BCL branch by asking a librarian for assistance.
