The same library card is good at all branches and bookmobile stops. Children may have their own cards as soon as they can write their own first names. Children under the age of 14 must have a parent or guardian sign their library card applications. Huntingdon County Library cards also entitle you to free borrowing privileges at Bedford, Blair, Centre, Mifflin and Juniata county public libraries through a cooperative borrowing agreement. College students who do not reside in Huntingdon County permanently may apply for a free library card valid for one year.
Cardholders are responsible for all items checked out on their cards.
Treat your library card like a credit card and report loss or theft as soon as you can, otherwise you may be liable for overdue fines or lost book fees resulting from unauthorized use of your card. The regular loan period is two weeks at the libraries and the Bookmobile for most materials. Materials may be renewed up to three times by telephone or in person so long as no other patron has them on request. Renewing books before they are overdue can save you money in unnecessary fines. Video cassette tapes are rented for a 48-hour period and may not be renewed over the phone.
