Borrowing titles from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Libraries<\/h2>\n

As part of our SPINE partnership, our customers can borrow titles from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough libraries’ stock for a charge of \u00a32 per title. You can find and reserve titles from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough by visiting any Suffolk library, contacting us or through our catalogue.<\/p>\n

If you search for a title in Suffolk and we don\u2019t have it, our catalogue will give you an option to expand your search to include Cambridgeshire and Peterborough’s services. If you click this link we\u2019ll present you with search results from Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.<\/p>\n

If your search brings up some results, but not the ones you’re looking for, our results page gives you the option to expand your search to Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.<\/p>\n

Please note: you can\u2019t just search Cambridgeshire and\/or Peterborough\u2019s titles. You have to search Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough\u2019s titles at the same time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you find the title you want, you can go on to reserve it in the normal way. You’ll receive notifications and collect it in the same way as usual.<\/p>\n

If you reserve a title from Cambridgeshire or Peterborough you\u2019ll be charged \u00a32.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes, the same title is available from one or more library services. Should you place a reservation on one of these titles, you can choose which service to reserve the title from. To avoid a charge, choose Suffolk.<\/p>\n

\u200dReserving titles from other libraries including the British Library (inter-library loans)<\/h2>\n

If a title is not available through us or Cambridgeshire Libraries, you can suggest a title for us to stock or request an inter-library loan. You can do this by visiting any Suffolk library, calling 0345 60 630 60<\/a> or emailing library.help@suffolk.gov.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n
