Circulation/Borrowing Policies

Most items circulate for 2 weeks. 

Most items can be renewed.

Exceptions:

• 7 Day Items
• Books on Reserve
• Museum Passes

After the due date, if an item is not renewed by phone or in person, it is considered OVERDUE.

At this point, patron will be notified of the delinquency by phone.

Any patron in possession of overdue material will not be allowed to borrow any additional items until the overdue material has been returned.  

A written notification will be made if there is no response within two weeks.

Approximately four weeks after the due date, the patron will be sent a bill by certified mail for cost of the materials. This notice will indicate suspension of all Library privileges until all materials are returned to the Library or the list price of such materials has been paid. 

Patrons who are chronically late in returning items may be put on a ONE-BOOK status for 3-6 months at the discretion of the Library Director.

There is a drop slot for after-hours returns.

Please do not drop Museum passes in the drop slot.
