Warren-Newport Public Library (WNPL) is part of CCS, a group of public libraries in Illinois. If an item cannot be checked out from WNPL or any CCS member library, you may be able to request it through Find More Illinois or WNPL’s Interlibrary Loan service.
These services are offered to WNPL cardholders only and any request must be for a title that is not currently owned by WNPL or any CCS library. Requests can only be made for the same types of physical materials WNPL currently checks out (books, periodical articles, and audiovisual materials).
