- Materials may be placed on hold. Patrons will be contacted when the material is available. Patrons may, also, request materials not owned by the library through Interlibrary Loan. Reserved books and Interlibrary Loan items will be held at the Circulation desk for 7 days following notification.
- Reference materials cannot be circulated. Magazines cannot be circulated. Additionally, books may be placed on "temporary reference" when resources on a particular subject are limited.
- Materials must be returned to the public library from which they were borrowed. "Book Returns" are provided outside each library in order for patrons to return library books when the library is not open. Non-print materials must be returned at the desk of the loaning library. NON-PRINT MATERIALS MUST NOT BE RETURNED THROUGH THE BOOK RETURNS.
- A patron is responsible for all materials borrowed on his library card. Each patron may use only his library card to borrow library materials. If materials are lost or damaged, the patron on whose card the material was borrowed must pay for lost or damaged items. The patron will be charged replacement cost plus a processing fee. The charge for out-of-print materials will be $25.00 or the original price of the material, if higher.
