LIBRARY CARDS

We cannot check items out to you without your library card, so please bring your card with you each time you visit the library. Proof of correct name and address (preferably a current driver’s license) is required to obtain a card. A parent or guardian signature is required for children under 16. Initial card is free. Lost or stolen cards must be replaced immediately. Failure to do so makes the patron responsible for any items checked out on the card.
First replacement cards cost $2; subsequent cards cost $5 each.

RENEWALS

Items (except DVDs) may be renewed twice unless someone else has requested the item. Books can be renewed in person, by phone or by Internet. You will need a password to access your account online. Items cannot be renewed online if they are overdue or if patron registration has expired.

BOOK DROP

There is a book drop located next to the front door of the library. To prevent damage, DVDs and audio books should not be returned in the book drop. Returning DVDs or audios in the book drop will result in a $2.00 fine applied to your account.
