Circulation Policies

Can I turn in my books after the Library is closed?
After hours, the book drops are usually available. If one or both are full or jammed, do not force material into the slot or leave items outside on the ground. If the items are stolen, you will be responsible financially for what is taken.

How long can I check out my items?
Loan periods vary by the type of item.

Most books	28 days
New books	14 days
Books on CD	14 days
Compact Discs	7 days
Magazines	7 days
DVDs	4 days (some circulate for 7 days)

How many items can I check out at a time?
For the first 30 days you have a Library card, you may have 10 items checked out at any one time.

After 30 days, if your card is in good standing (you have less than ten overdue items and owe less than $20), you may have 20 DVDs, and as many other items as you wish up to 100 on your card at any one time.

We reserve the right to limit certain collection areas, if needed.

How many items can I check out at a time after I have had my Library card for 30 days?
You may have up to 100 items at one time after you have had your Library card for 30 days, with these maximum limits:

• DVDs - 20
• CDs - 40
• Books unlimited up to a grand total of 100 items

How do I reserve something?
You can reserve items by going to our catalog and entering your barcode & PIN, or you can go to one of the desks at the Library and someone will reserve the item for you. You can have up to 40 holds on your list at a time.

How much does it cost to borrow items from the Library?
Borrowing or checking out items is free. If items are brought back past their due date, there is an overdue fee:

• Fines that have been on a card for over 90 days must be totally cleared before more items are checked out.
• Fines exceeding $20 must be paid in full or partially paid before more items may be checked out. 
• You may have only 10 overdue items on your card at a time.
