How long will it take to receive my Interlibrary Loan or Zip Book?

Please allow a minimum of three weeks for an Interlibrary Loan. It may not take that long but faster service cannot be guaranteed. We need to find a library that owns the item, is willing to lend it, and where it is not checked out to another borrower. 

Zip Books generally arrive within one or two weeks of us ordering the item. It may not take that long but faster service cannot be guaranteed.
