Interruptions to interlibrary loan services continue through October 27, due to system upgrades. During this time, if you need an item Wright Library does not own, please talk to a librarian.
What does this mean for you?
Current SearchOhio loans will stop autorenewing on Friday, August 1. Requests placed after July 18 may not arrive before the deadline.
You will not be able to borrow or renew items from:
- OhioLINK - May 23-October 27, 2025
- SearchOhio - August 1-October 27, 2025
Please pay attention to due dates on interlibrary loans, especially around Aug. 1, to check if your items renew or not. Patrons will still be responsible for overdue fines on late items.
