Children - Children under the age of 16 are eligible to receive a library card with a parent or guardian signature. The parent must also have a Bristol Public Library card on file. Only one notice will be sent out to remind patrons of their overdue status. This notice is system generated one week after an overdue status occurs in a patron record. If overdue materials are returned but fines are not paid at the time of the return, a notice will automatically be generated and sent to the patron notifiying them of their record status.
Files begin accumulating on each item following the day an item is due.
Patrons will be charged for materials that are damaged or lost. To Return Materials Materials should be deposited in the designated slot at the Circulation Desk. For your convenience, when the library is closed, materials may be returned by using the drop boxes outside the building. Items in the drop box carry the previous days date upon check-in to help avoid overdue charges. Please be sure to use the book drop box for books and the video drop box for Videos, CDs, Cassettes, and Book Cassettes.
