      Westlake Porter Public Library is a member of SearchOhio, a sharing consortium that lets WPPL customers borrow from the collections of other public libraries across the state. You can use SearchOhio to request items we don't own in our collection and have them delivered to the Westlake library.

      OhioLINK is a similar consortium of college and university libraries around the state of Ohio.

      You'll find more information about borrowing from SearchOhio or OhioLINK on our SearchOhio, OhioLINK and Interlibrary Loan page.
