If a title is not owned by our libraries, you can request to borrow the item from another library within Pennsylvania.  To do this, complete the Inter-Library Loan Requests form.  Select the form for the type of item you’d like to borrow.  We have separate forms for: 

• Book request
• Article/Microfilm request
• Audiobook request
• Movie request
• Music request
• Other request

Most items are available for 14 days with 3 renewals. DVDs, Playaways, and Video Games are available for 7 days with 3 renewals. Hotspots have 14- and 30-day loans. Due date receipts and account tools can help you track your due dates.

For more information, visit our Borrow Items page.

If you forget your card and need to borrow items, you must provide identification (such as a driver's license).

Cumberland County Library System has implemented the automatic renewal of eligible items reaching their due dates.  Many of your items may qualify for automatic renewal.  For more information about automatic renewal visit our Automatic Renewal page.
