Through the interlibrary loan service, the Hoyt Lakes Public Library can get materials for users that the library doesn't own. The materials can be sent to a library of the users choice.

Libraries do not lend DVDs of new or popular movies and TV shows, new bestselling books, eBooks or eReaders, computer software, or entire issues of magazines.

Almost always free, but in rare cases there may be a charge. If this is the case the library will contact you before proceeding. You are responsible for fines on overdue items and replacement costs for lost or damaged materials.

Most requests are filled in 1-2 weeks. Materials that are in high demand, hard to find, or owned by only a few libraries may take longer.

You can log into “My Account” on our website, look on MnLINK or call the library at 218-225-2412.

You will be notified by phone or email. One you are notified, the materials will be held at the circulation desk of your chosen library.

Loan periods for most items are the same as if they were owned by Hoyt Lakes Public Library: It is in your best interest to pick up your materials promptly.

No.
