About borrowing books...

• Wheaton uses 2 systems to borrow books from other libraries:
  1. I-Share - Illinois libraries only and the first choice to borrow a book. You need to set up an I-Share account.
  2. ILLiad - libraries worldwide, and should be utilized only if you cannot find an available copy in I-Share. Learn more...
