Notary

East Lake Community Library is glad to offer notary services for professionally composed legal documents. We have two notaries on staff for your convenience. We can certify a copy, affirm an oath and/or verify a signature.
The notary services cost $10.00 per document or "stamp."
We ask that you call ahead to make sure a staff notary is available to serve your needs.
Note: if you need a signature verified, please do not sign your document until you are in the presence of the notary.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a resource-sharing service that allows you to request books that are neither owned by the East Lake Community Library, nor available within the Pinellas Public Library System.
Patrons wishing to retrieve sources using ILL must be in good standing with the library as far as fines and overdues.
Once we receive your ILL request, it generally takes from several days to three weeks for you to get the materials. Some items are more readily available than others, so, by necessity, we can't guarantee the receipt or delivery time of any requested book.
ILLs may be limited subject to copyright restrictions and/or availability of resources.
Patrons will be notified if an ILL request cannot be filled.
Books and copies of magazine articles but not the entire magazine or journal may be requested. Materials not available through ILL are audiovisual materials such as videos, DVDs, cassettes, and CDs, rare or valuable items, text books under five years old, new books less than 12 months old, reference and genealogy books and materials.
Shipping time, loan periods, and availability vary according to the lending library. A lender may also direct that an ILL must be used only in the library. Generally, ILL items check out for 28 days and there are no renewals. The same title may not be re-requested for a patron, for a period of 3 months from the date of return.
Fines for overdue ILLs are $0.50 per day per item with a maximum overdue fine of $5.00 per item. Patrons are responsible for charges levied by lending libraries for overdue, damaged, or lost ILL items.
Forms are available at the Reference Desk or you can submit your request online by clicking HERE.
