Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a form of cooperation between libraries, where one library lends documents to another library, or provides copies of fragments of documents. If users does not find the required item in their own library, they can order publications or copies of articles from the collection of the Oak Growth Library. This service has been available to the public for a number of years, and from 1 October 2022 it is possible to order the desired book or publication from another library for FREE. You only need to pay for this service when you want to download copies of documents.
From 13 November 2023, readers can also order publications independently via ibiblioteka.lt.
