Interlibrary Loan

Our library participates in the New Hampshire State Library Interlibrary Loan (ILL) program. This program allows our patrons statewide access to materials using a van delivery service. In return, we loan our materials to other libraries by request. Our van stop is the Wiggin Memorial Library in Stratham and we pick up materials twice a week.

You may place an interlibrary loan request for items not in the Langdon Library collection by emailing us at info@nulllangdonlibrary.org or asking us at the desk.
