A free reciprocal library card is available to non-residents within Virginia. The reciprocal card holder is entitled to use all materials and equipment in the library they are visiting. Up to two items may be checked out on a reciprocal card. Loan Periods and Renewals Most materials circulate for two weeks with the option to one renewal unless they are on reserve for another patron. Materials can be renewed over the telephone.
Videos circulate for two weeks, with no renewals.
In order to ensure your privacy, you will need to provide your library card or some form of identification to checkout or renew materials and to inquire about overdue items or possible fines. Library materials may be returned to the most convenient Chesapeake library location. Videos and all other audiovisual materials must be returned to the circulation desk unless a special audiovisual book drop is available. Fines are assessed for damage to materials that are still usable. Additional charges may be involved with interlibrary loan materials.
