1. How do I get an IFSI library card?
Stop by the IFSI Library or contact us via phone or email and we will create a library account for you. You do not need a physical card for the IFSI Library. To create your account, we will need your name, contact information, and address. If you wish to have materials sent to your local Illinois public library, we will need your public library card number.
2. Does getting materials cost money?
No, there is no charge for borrowing IFSI Library materials.
3. How long can I have an item?
Physical materials are checked out for 30 days. If you need an item longer, we have options for renewal.
4. How many items can I have checked out at once?
Loans are limited to 6 items at a time.
5. What if I need a textbook for an IFSI class or class at my fire department?
Reach out to your instructor to get the exact title and edition required for the course. For each IFSI class, the library collects a limited number of related texts available on a first-come-first-served basis. These texts are also available for loan to firefighters throughout Illinois.
