Library-to-Library Book Delivery is a service for Cornell-affiliated patrons. Patrons can request that a book be shipped from one library to a library of their choosing for more convenient pick-up. Requests are made electronically using the Library Catalog.

Quick facts to know about Library-to-Library Book Delivery:

• Only regular loan books can be requested. Periodicals, reserve materials and short-term loan items such as videos and DVDs are not included in this service.
• Patrons cannot make requests to have books paged and picked up from the same location.
