You will need a valid Ferguson Library card and must be a Stamford resident to place requests. Processing time for requests is 2-6 weeks on average.

Additional Information about Interlibrary Loans

Interlibrary loans are usually a free service, but you will be asked to set a fee limit should the lending library charge us. Due dates for physical materials are also set by the lending library.
