Interlibrary loans (ILLs) are one of our core services, enabling you to access books, audiobooks, and DVDs from over 100 libraries in Maine and beyond. Unfortunately, there will be an interruption in ILL service for a couple of months due to factors outside our control. 

Why? The delivery of ILLs is managed at the state level, and the state library is in the process of switching to a different delivery company. While this transition occurs, which is expected to take at least 2 months, ILL service will be unavailable for all Maine libraries including MML.

In the meantime, you you can still:

• Place holds on books owned by MML
• Borrow ebooks and audiobooks with your MML card on Cloudlibrary.
• Borrow books and other items in-person at other participating libraries with your MML card through the Reciprocal Borrowing Program

If you have questions or would like to learn more about this process, give us a call at (207) 723-7020, visit the Maine State Library Van Delivery FAQ page, or contact Beth Crist from Maine State Library at (207) 816-2999 or Beth.Crist@Maine.gov. 

We apologize for the inconvenience and will be sure to let you know as soon as ILL service is restored. 

All the best,

MML Staff
