Cards are issued for a three-year period. The first time you use the library you will be issued a card which identifies you for our new automated check-out system. You should bring this card with you whenever you use the library. If you are an Open Access borrower you will need to present your card from your home library. Most materials are checked out for two weeks.
Videos are for two days.
If you have outstanding fines or unreturned materials, further checkout may be denied until these matters are resolved. Materials may be renewed at the checkout desk or by phone, if there is no waiting list for the item. You may return materials at the checkout desk or in the outside return slot. If the item you want has been checked out, you may place your name on our Reserve list, and you will be notified when it is available. The Iowa Locator is a computerized system which helps locate materials in libraries throughout the state.
