Loaning of Materials

Books and other printed materials are loaned for twenty-one days unless otherwise designated.

Unless otherwise designated, library materials may be renewed in person or by phone. Reserve books may not be renewed.

Only two holiday books from the children's collection may be checked out at a time.

Books being held for a patron must be picked up within three days after the patron has been notified.

The latest issue of each magazine must remain in the Library. Other magazines may be checked out for twenty-one days.

Audio-visual equipment and videos are loaned for a period of two days and only to adults. Patrons may need to sign an agreement to be wholly responsible for the safety of the equipment and media.

Temporary card holders may not borrow audiovisual equipment or materials.

Art prints are loaned for eight weeks and may be renewed once.

Federal census records on microfilm may be rented through the Library. The patron will be charged the rental fee.

If the Library does not have the material or information a patron desires, every effort will be made to obtain it through interlibrary loan. There may be a charge to the patron from the lending library. There is a limit of three interlibrary loan requests per patron at one time. Interlibrary loan items not picked up within the specified time will result in a $5.00 charge.
