InterLibrary Loan
We can locate and borrow books for you from other libraries. This process requires that you have a current, valid Glendale or Pasadena library card.

Call or visit the Library to place an "interlibrary loan" request. At the Central Library, ILL requests are taken at the Reference Desk. Please note, the ILL process may take several weeks or more.

Some items (reference books, rare books, very new books, and audio-visual materials and electronic materials) cannot be provided by interlibrary loan.
