Library Services

Online Catalog:

You may search for materials by title, subject, author or keywords.

Interlibrary Loan:

If we do not own a title that you would like, there are numerous avenues you can take.  The library has reciprocal agreements with the following other libraries in the area:

If you find an item is not available from any of these sources, we will be happy to act as your agent to borrow, if available, from sources around the country.  There is a limit of two requests per patron per month.  Blackfoot Public Library does not charge for this service, however, if the lending institution charges fees, they will be passed to you.  Questions? Please call the library at 785-8628.
