Additional Services from MLNV

- Request an interlibrary loan (ILL) – ILL is a service that allows a patron of one library to borrow materials that are owned by another library. If MLNV doesn’t have an item you’d like, inquire at the main circulation desk to fill out the request form in person, or you can complete it online!
