Though the due date is important, Aud also wants to remind patrons of other uses of the library. For example, the library has 72 paintings and prints by local artists that are available for checkout. Artwork can be taken out four weeks at a time. So, if you want a new decor for your home every month, try the library. The library issues one free replacement library card per three-year period.
Fine money becomes part of the library's income.
