Loan Guidelines

Patrons are asked to make reasonable efforts to return items in a timely fashion. If you do forget about an item and it is two weeks overdue, the library will send you a notice via email or regular mail. When an item is four weeks overdue, the patron is sent a bill for replacement cost of the item.

Patrons are asked to take reasonable care of materials. However, the staff also understands that problems can occur, and we don't want you to stop coming to the library when they do. If there is a problem, ask a staff member for advice on the best way to handle it.

DVD's, VHS and cassettes have a limited lifespan. If these items are not working correctly anymore, please let staff know when you return the item.
