Library Cards & Loan Policies

How do I get a Library Card?
Obtaining a library card is simple. Just stop in and fill out a registration card. You must show a valid picture ID or other proof of residence, such as utility bills, a driver's license, or a printed check. If you are under 16, you will need a parent or guardian to show the proper ID and sign a statement of responsibility for you.

What are my responsibilities when I check out library materials?
When you get a library card you sign an agreement to return library materials on time. You also agree to take care of library materials so that they are in good shape for the next user.

Where do I return materials?
When the library is open, you can return materials to the circulation desk or the drop box. Make sure videos are rewound and in their proper cases and that all audiocassettes are accounted for. Please do not put videos in the drop box as it damages the case.

Does the library charge a late fee?
Yes, the library will charge a late fee of 5 cents per day on overdue books, audiocassettes, and magazines. The late fees for videos and CDs are 25 cents per day. It is the patron's responsibility to pay the overdue, damage, and replacement charges in a timely manner.

Will the library reserve books and tapes for me?
Yes, we will put materials on a reserve list in the order they are asked for and call the patron when the item becomes available. We will hold materials for one week, and if not picked up we will take the reserve off of the patron card.

Can I renew my library materials by telephone?
Yes, you may renew by phone or in person. It is not necessary to bring the materials to the library. Materials on reserve for other patrons may not be renewed.

How do I find books and other materials?
The best source for finding books and other materials in the library is the staff. Please feel free to ask questions. The library staff will also help you use the online catalog.
