INTERLIBRARY LOANS UPDATE:

Trove Partners, the facilitator of interlibrary loan services across Australian libraries, is transitioning to a new system. As a result, Glen Eira’s interlibrary loan service will be temporarily paused from 28 April 2025.

It is anticipated the service will resume 30 June 2025. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this transition.
