Changes to Interlibrary Loan Platform

In the winter of 2024/2025, all Ontario Public Libraries will transition to a new interlibrary loan platform. As a result, Z-portal, KFPL’s current platform for searching and requesting items, will not be available as of November 12, 2024. 

Interlibrary loan services will be unavailable while we transition to this new platform. Check back on this page for updates.

Canada Post Strike

As of November 15, 2024, Canada Post workers are on strike. Since the service relies on Canada Post, KFPL cannot fulfill any outstanding ILLO requests. 

What are Interlibrary Loans?

We endeavour to provide a robust collection of materials, however, there will be times when an item is not available, is out of print, or doesn’t fit within our Collection Policy guidelines. If that’s the case for a title you want, we can try to borrow the item on your behalf from another Canadian library through our Interlibrary Loans (ILLO) service.
