Interlibrary Loans

For those who do not live in the Winnipeg area, but would like to borrow materials from our library, we have an interlibrary loan program that may work for you. If you are a member group of the Manitoba Eco-Network then all written materials can be mailed out to you, with return postage, at no cost. Movies and other media do not apply to library rates, and we charge the basic costs of what Canada Post charges us for these Items. People who are not members of the Manitoba Eco-Network may also borrow materials, with return postage paid, for a very small sum (usually under $2.00 per mailing, total). If you're interested in using this service, please phone or e-mail us with any questions.
