WISCAT

Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a borrowing privilege for Winding Rivers Library System (WRLS) library card holders.

WISCAT is a union catalog of many Wisconsin libraries, containing extensive holdings in various formats.

The La Crosse County Library can request items for you from WISCAT. Please note:

  • Items must not be owned by a WRLS Library
  • New items (6 months for books; 12 months for DVDs) cannot be requested
  • Lending libraries determine the loan period
  • Request for renewals must be made to the La Crosse County Library from which you requested the item at least 2 days prior to due date
  • Textbooks are generally not able to be requested
  • Patrons with library fines exceeding $5.00 may not request ILL items
  • There is a limit of five requests per person per week.
  • Please check our digital library content before pursuing a request for print materials: Overdrive | Hoopla

Staff will gladly place your ILL requests for you.  If you wish to place your own ILL requests, you must complete a one-time registration.

Contact our Public Services Librarian (608-399-3361 or [email protected]) to get signed up for this access.
