FAQ
- What are my responsibilities when I check out library materials?
When you get a library card, you sign an agreement to take care of library materials so that they are in good shape for the next user and return library materials on time.
- Where do I return materials?
When the library is open, you can return materials to the circulation desk or the drop box. Make sure that all audio CDs and DVDs are accounted for.
- Does my library card expire?
All library cards must be renewed annually so that the staff may verify the current address & phone number. If you address or phone number change let your library staff know. If a library card has not been used in three (3) years, it will be removed from the system and the patron will have to reapply for a card.
