Borrowing Procedures

Patrons must present their own library card to borrow items.

 

Borrowing privileges are given to patrons in good standing. To be in good standing, patrons must:

· Not owe fees exceeding $10.00

· Have a valid, unexpired library card.

· Not have 4 or more items with status of “Claims Returned.”

Borrowing privileges on your account and the accounts of minors for whom you are responsible may be revoked if the criteria listed above is not met.

 

Lending Periods

· 3 weeks - books, magazines, audios, music CDs

· 2 weeks - new adult books, DVD (multi-disc), video/board games, kits, adult special displays, book discussion group titles, e-readers

· 1 week - DVDs (single disc)

 

Item Renewal

Item Renewal:

· Items can be renewed two times only.

· Items cannot be renewed if there is a hold on that item or the patron’s account is blocked.

· Video games, book discussion group titles, e-readers, board games and kits may not be renewed.

 

Overdue Fines

Effective Sept 1, 2021 the library will no longer charge overdue fines for items returned within 28 days of their due date.  Please keep in mind items will auto-renew two times provided no other patron has that item on hold and patrons will be notified regarding the item’s status via email or text message.  Patrons are responsible for paying fees associated with damaged items and items not returned within 28 days of their due date are assumed lost.
