UPDATE: Unfortunately interlibrary loan sharing between libraries is on hold due to extended contract negotiations at the state level for van delivery service.
Please visit the Maine State Library Van Delivery FAQ for full details and policies for libraries all over the state: https://tinyurl.com/5n6t5rpn.
We apologize for the inconvenience, especially because we just joined the MILS system in March and many of our patrons were just learning to enjoy the service. We miss the new system too, but in the meantime we still have the collection at our home library. Books can still be requested from our home collection through MILS.
And library staff can still help. Come to us with direct requests for materials we do not own. We will do our best to purchase needed materials until van delivery resumes.
We will update our patrons as this state process develops. Van delivery will most likely not resume until late August or early September. 6/23/2024

The Vassalboro Library is part of the MILS consortium (Maine Info Net Library System). MILS is a shared library system that brings together small libraries of all types from across the state. Log-in to your account with your barcode number and pin. Your pin is the last four digits of your phone number. If you are a “legacy” user, and only know your four-digit number, you will need to contact the library for your barcode and card. You now have access to your library account and can access: items checked out with due date, place renewals, request inter-library loans and home library requests.
