Renewals

As long as no one is waiting for an item, many items may be renewed. You may easily renew your items over the Internet here. You may also renew items by phone, toll-free, by calling 1-888-672-8983. Have your library card and PIN handy when you call. Items that are overdue must be returned to the library - they may not be renewed either online or over the phone.

Most services are free of charge, but we do ask that materials be returned or renewed on time. When materials are returned after the due date, fines will begin to accrue on a daily basis for each item at the following rates:

Fines will stop accruing at different rates for each type of material, but the maximum fine for all book and audio materials is $5.00. Videos/DVDs have a maximum fine limit of $10.00.

Fees

Missing Barcode - If an item is returned to the Library with the Barcode removed, a $2.00 service fee will be placed on the borrowing customer's record.

Processing Fee - If an item is lost, a processing fee of $5.00 will be placed on the borrowing customer's record.

Lost Library Cards - For each replacement card there will be a $1.00 charge.

More Library Improvements!

On February 18th, the Library added 96 new shelves in the Adult Non-Fiction area. Several growing collections got some much-needed new space. We're very excited to have room for all of the new items coming in - take a look and check them out!

We've been listening to your suggestions. We think we've found the perfect spot for a drive-up book return! A huge thank you goes to the Friends of the Library for purchasing our new box. Watch for it later this spring.
