You’ll need a Regina Public Library card and a PIN (personal identification number) to request a title through interlibrary loan or suggest a title for purchase. Your library account must be in good standing (owing less than $25).
You can submit up to 10 purchase and/or interlibrary loan requests per month.
Requests that do not meet these criteria will automatically be rejected.
We’ll send an automatic email to let you know we’ve received your suggestion. If items are approved for purchase or sent to interlibrary loan you will receive a notification when it is available. Our staff are unable to track the status of your suggestion so please don’t inquire after your submission.
An interlibrary loan is how we connect you with materials from libraries outside of Saskatchewan. If we determine that your request doesn't meet our Collection Policy, we will attempt to borrow the material from another Canadian library.
Turnaround times and loan periods vary depending on the lending library. Please submit your request with accurate information and as much detail as possible as that will speed up the process. You will be notified when your requested item is available for pick-up.

We’ll make every attempt to fulfill your requests, but we can’t guarantee that each attempt will be successful. If a title has already been submitted and gone through the request process once, and has been deemed unsuitable for our collection, or isn’t available through interlibrary loan, it won’t be considered again — even if it’s been submitted several times.
Repeated requests for the same item, which has been deemed unsuitable for purchase, or unable to be acquired via Interlibrary Loan, will not result in a re-consideration of the title.
