Other Borrowing Policies

Patrons may renew library materials online, over the phone or in person one time. Materials can be renewed additional times if not on reserve. Renewals are not permitted on DVDs.

Movies with an "R" or "TV/MA" rating will be limited to those 18 years or older.

For your protection and ours, you must present your library card for service, whether borrowing items or using the computers. Further, it is the policy of the library that no patron is permitted to borrow items on another patron's account. The only exception to this policy: materials for youth under 5 years of age are placed on the parent/guardian's account.

Borrowing and computer use privileges will be suspended when fines on an account reach $5.00.
