All toll free numbers are $1.00 per page. All incoming faxes are 50 cents per page.
INTERLIBRARY LOAN
With the Argos Public Library’s Interlibrary Loan Service (called SRCS), patrons can access materials from other libraries throughout Indiana and the rest of the country. We do not charge for this service unless the materials are mailed to us through the US mail service from an out-of-state library. The cost then, is the actual mailing cost. You must hold a valid Argos Public Library card to take advantage of this service.
Interlibrary loan is a primary service that supports the mission of the library by providing enhanced access to library materials and information. The purpose of interlibrary loan is to obtain materials not available in the library and to provide materials from our collection to other libraries.
RENEW MATERIALS/DROP BOXES
Materials that are checked out may be renewed once if there are no reserves on them. Materials may be renewed by telephone during the business day or through your online account on the library website. No renewals are handled by the answering machine. Please have your library tag barcode number available when renewing by telephone.
