Hutchinson Public Library will begin taking Interlibrary Loan requests for materials we do not own on July 1. Please note that due to the Pandemic and increased activity with Covid-19 we will be very limited in our borrowing capacity. Many libraries will still be closed or working on only a partial basis within their buildings. We will be limiting the items each person can borrow to 2 items per week, beginning on Mondays. (Please note our hours have changed)
- We cannot be held responsible for items that are held up by lending libraries who may need to close due to community COVID-19 conditions.
- We do not borrow items that we own.
- Items must be at least 6 months old for books and 1 year for movies. Otherwise a Purchase Request will be submitted for our collection.
- Borrowing a different format of an item we own is acceptable.
