Inter-Loaned Material

Loan periods on materials inter-loaned from shared system libraries may vary depending on the circulation rules of the owning library.  Some inter-loaned materials may not be renewable.  No item may be renewed if it has a hold on it.


Borrowing Guidelines

Due to the limited size of our collections, the materials listed below are subject to the following guidelines per registered borrower:

  • 3 non-fiction books on the same subject
  • 7 DVDs and 7 Music CDs at any one time

Overdue Fees

As of Tuesday, November 9, 2021, the library is no longer charging overdue fees. However, the library will continue to charge replacement costs for lost or damaged items. Items are automatically billed as lost when they are 21 days passed their due date. Cardholders may not check out additional materials, including eContent, with a lost item on their account. 
 
 If lost items are not returned or paid for within 45 days past their due date, a collection agency will be used to recover bills in excess of $50.00. A $12.00 non-negotiable placement fee is added to any account sent to the collection agency.
