You also agree to take care of library materials so that they will be in good shape for the next user. The library has a structure of charges for materials returned late or damaged, or lost materials. The library staff understands that things happen and are willing to work with you in case materials are late or are in some way damaged. Remember that these materials are purchased for use by our entire community. Handling library materials carefully and returning them promptly is being neighborly.
Most overdue materials accrue late charges at the rate of ten cents per day per item.
There is a short grace period after the due date before charges begin to accrue. Users may call to request renewals or extension of loans, subject to recalls or holds placed by others. Charges for lost materials include replacement cost and a processing fee. Please check materials to make sure that you have not left anything important in books and magazines and that the video and audio tapes are the ones that you checked out. There is also a drop box in front of the library for returning materials when the library is closed.
