The purpose of the circulation section is to perform the cycle of registration, charging, discharging, reserving, and shelving of library materials in a timely and accurate manner. The goal of the Circulation Section is for an individual to receive maximum service from Circulation and from the other sections of the library. This depends upon finding materials in their proper place.
Circulation also assists patrons with fiction reader advisory services.
Circulation staff rotate manning the reader advisory desk to help patrons find material in requested genres, newly published fiction, and to offer brochures with ideas for further reading. Besides checking out and checking in materials, Circulation Services is also responsible for maintaining reserves on fiction and non-fiction materials. If a book you want is currently checked out, simply fill out a reserve card and Circulation will notify you when the book is available. In addition, we renew library materials in person or over the phone. Just make sure to have your library card number ready.
