The maximum number of items any borrower may have charged out on their library card is 75 items.

 

All material must be returned undamaged.  Library users are responsible for any damage (full or partial) incurred while the material is checked out to them.  Patrons who have signed up for email notification of reserve items will receive a “Library Due Date Reminder” email.  This notice will be generated 3 days before items are due and will list each item that’s coming due.  These notices will compile only for those who have signed up for email notification.

 

Library materials may be renewed for one additional loan period provided there are no local reserves or holds on the material(s).  Material may be renewed in person, by telephone, or via the Internet.  Individuals seeking to renew items must have their library card number when they call.  Hot books and Hot DVD’s may not be renewed.

 

Reference material may be checked out on an overnight basis at the discretion of the Reference Librarian on duty at closing.  Overnight loans must be returned to the library within one hour of the library opening on the next business day.
