interlibrary loan
Between-branch book sharing
Interlibrary loan is a system by which libraries borrow materials from each other on behalf of their patrons.
If your local library doesn't own a book you need, they can request it from another library: I got that obscure dissertation through interlibrary loan.
Often abbreviated ILL.
