Items may be renewed twice unless there is request for a hold on the item by another library patron. Patrons must present their library card at time of loan.
Inter-library loan books are loaned to patrons for up to three weeks. If you requested your Inter-Library loan through BC Interlibrary Connect, you can renew your books through your library account.
Patrons wishing to renew Interlibrary items they requested through Illume must request the renewal at the Dawson Creek Public Library and staff will contact the loaning library and ask for a renewal. It is at the discretion of the loaning library to grant the request for a ILL renewal.
