The Access Pennsylvania (AccessPA) Catalog and ILL (Interlibrary Loan) System is a coordinated resource-sharing program. Through this program, libraries throughout Pennsylvania share books, eBooks, periodicals, and DVDs, so that you can have access to library's collections all over Pennsylvania.
​
Since April 2002, more than 1.9 million items have been loaned to readers all over Pennsylvania.

ILLs must be picked up within 7 days of notification. Items not picked up will be returned to the lending library and a fee of $2 per item will be charged. Patrons who fail to pick up ILL materials 3 times in a calendar year may have ILL privileges suspended for 6 months.
