As part of our SPINE partnership, our customers can borrow titles from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough libraries' stock for a charge of £2 per title.
You can find and reserve titles from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough by visiting any Suffolk Library, contacting us or through our catalogue.
You can’t just search Cambridgeshire and/or Peterborough’s titles. You have to search Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough’s titles at the same time.
If you find the title you want, you can go on to reserve it in the normal way. You'll receive notifications and collect it in the same way as usual.
If you reserve a title from Cambridgeshire or Peterborough, you’ll be charged £2.
Sometimes, the same title is available from one or more library services. Should you place a reservation on one of these titles, you can choose which service to reserve the title from. To avoid a charge, choose Suffolk.
If a title is not available through us or Cambridgeshire Libraries, you can suggest a title for us to stock or request an inter-library loan. You can do this by visiting any Suffolk Library, calling 01473 351249 or emailing help@suffolklibraries.co.uk
