If you can't find the item you are looking for in our catalogue, we will gladly help you get a copy.

• If it is a new publication, we may purchase it for the Library collection and it will automatically be reserved for you. This is a free service.
  Please note that Bayside will already be purchasing all popular movies and TV shows to add to our collection. You do not need to submit a request for these titles. Please remember that a film's theatrical release date is different to the DVD release date. Content from specific publishers like Netflix, Stan and Amazon Prime are not always released on DVD.

• If the item was published more than two years ago, or falls outside our Collection Guidelines, we can borrow it for your from another library service for a fee. Fees for interlibrary loan requests are payable on collection of your request
  • $4.00 for items coming from another public library service
  • $31.00 for items coming from an academic/university library

Our staff will contact you to confirm the fee before proceeding with the request. 

Please note : we cannot guarantee the delivery time for an inter-library loan as this is dependant on the availability of the item at the sending library. Most items are generally supplied within a few weeks.

Please note: Our inter-library loan service is temporarily suspended. We anticipate it being reinstated on July 1 2025. This is due to a new Australia wide inter-library loan service being rolled out by the National Library of Australia.
