Yes, you can have a book from the library mailed to you by submitting an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request. First, create an ILL account. (The address you use to create your account is where the book will be mailed.) Then, on the library's home page, select Books & More above the search box, and search by title or keyword.

Click the title of the book you want, then click "Not available? Request through Interlibrary Loan" located in the center of the page in the Request Options area. This will bring up the ILLiad log-in screen. Log in to see the Book Request form with most of the information filled in, and click Submit. 

Books will be mailed to your personal address at no cost, but you are responsible for paying return shipping to Forsyth Library. Each item you receive will come with a return label as well as a letter explaining the return process. You can return items one at a time or return multiple items in one box, as long as all items are back by the due date. Returns can be mailed via UPS, USPS or FedEx.
