Document Delivery

Lexington Public Library will fax or mail up to twenty pages or four articles from sources owned by LPL to a user’s address or fax number. You must fill out a separate form for each item requested. All document delivery requests must be made in writing (via the website form, a faxed document delivery request or letter) and must include an exact or near exact citation.

Examples of acceptable citations are:

  • The May 2nd, 1999 Time magazine cover story
  • "Traffic Biggest Issue With Main Street Renewal Project" Lexington Leader, September 14, 1973, pg. 24, col. 5-7
  • The entry on "Thomas Jefferson" from the World Book Encyclopedia

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to the quality of copies, newspaper articles cannot be faxed. They will be sent through regular U.S. Mail.

We will attempt to respond to requests for fax delivery within 24 hours, Monday through Thursday. Questions received on Fridays, weekends or holidays, will be answered as soon as possible on the following business day. If you need more immediate service, please visit the library. Requests for mail delivery will be answered as soon as possible, staff time permitting.

LPL Cardholders: Charges are 25 cents per page plus $5 for mail or fax delivery per item requested. These fees will be charged to your LPL card. Your card must be active and non-delinquent.

Non-Cardholders: Before requesting document delivery from LPL you should check with your local library. They may already own the material you seek or may be able to request an interlibrary loan for you at little or no charge. Often, Interlibrary Loan requests can be processed as quickly as mail requests. Charges are 25 cents a page, plus $5.00 for mail delivery or $10.00 for a fax, per item requested. You will be billed the proper amount.

Please fill out one form for each item you are requesting.

You may request up to 4 articles or 20 pages.
