How does the Lending Library service work?

  • The Lending Library website lists items in the collection.
  • Use the request form on the website to select up to three books.
  • Submitting the request form automatically e-mails your request to the Lending Library.
  • The Lending Library will reply to your request via email within one week.
  • The reply e-mail will confirm your selection(s), indicate shipping charges, and provide a direct link to PayPal for payment.
  • Requests and payment by U.S. Mail are also possible, see "How can I borrow..." below.
  • When your payment is received the books are mailed to you.
  • Normally, shipment is via US Postal Service Media Mail. (Estimated shipping time = 10 days)
  • Priority Mail is available on request for an additional $4.00 service charge.
  • The mailed package includes a Due Date, pre-addressed return address envelope, and prepaid return postage.
