Checking Out and Borrowing

To renew books, bring them into the library. If there is a waiting list for the item, it cannot be renewed.

Borrowing from Other Libraries

If you want an item that is not currently located in the library, we may be able to get that item from another library. Inter Library Loan (ILL) is available for all patrons. A $3.75 per item mailing fee is collected at the time the item is requested.

Fines and Grace

There is a grace period before fines start. Fines are 10 cents per day up to a maximum of $2.00 per item.

Downloading programs or loading programs from disk or CD ROM is strictly forbidden. Use of the network to access obscene, objectionable or pornographic material is prohibited.
