The lending period for requested items depends upon the length of time allowed by the lending library and can vary from a week to several weeks. Patrons may request a renewal on an Interlibrary Loan item with the exception of DVDs. Renewals must be requested prior to the due date or overdue fines will incur. Renewals are dependent upon the lending library; therefore, they are not guaranteed to be granted. Any patron's abuse of the agreed terms of borrowing items may result in Midland County Public Libraries denying that patron's future use of the Interlibrary Loan service. Contact the library at 432-688-4320 for more information.
