Circulation ServicesThe Library is open to the public and the materials are available for on-site use. How to Register for Library Services:
Renew Checked Out MaterialsCirculation periods, renewals and holdsTen (10) books may be checked out concurrently. Books circulate for two weeks and may be renewed twice. If a HOLD has been placed on any item, it cannot be renewed and must be returned to the Library. Books can be renewed by calling the Library Circulation Desk at 686-5980
Holds on books and journals may be placed at the Circulation Desk. You will be contacted by phone or e-mail when the material is available. The Library Online Catalog lists the status of each item as on the shelf, checked out and the due date or missing. Book on HoldYou may place a "HOLD" on any item that is currently checked out or not on the shelves and you will be contacted by e-mail or phone when the item is available for you. Holds may be placed at the Circulation Desk in the Library. BookdropThere are three locations where you may return Library materials.
Please do not return the following items in the bookdrops but bring them into the Library:
Overdue BooksFines for overdue books are $1.00 per day per book with a maximum fine of $100.00 per item. Courtesy notices are sent through e-mail three (3) days prior to the due date of checked-out books. Renewals may be requested by replying to the courtesy e-mail notice, phoning the Circulation Desk (686-5980) during operating hours or by renewing on-line. An overdue notice is sent via e-mail the day after a book is due. Renewals may be requested at that time by phoning the Library (686-5980) during operating hours. If an e-mail address is not available overdue notices will be sent via regular mail. Billing for overdue or lost items:If items are not returned by the due date, two subsequent notices are sent. The final notice is a bill for the replacement costs of the items; overdue fines incurred (up to $100.00 per item) and for each item a $15.00 non-refundable billing and a $15.00 processing charge. Borrowing privileges are suspended and will not be reinstated until the materials are returned and fines are paid or replacement costs and fines are paid if the materials are lost. If items are returned, the replacement cost and processing charge are waived. The patron is responsible for overdue charges (up to $100.00 per item) and the $15.00 billing fee (non-refundable for each item). If items are lost, the charges for each item will include replacement cost of the item, plus the $15.00 processing fee, plus the $15.00 billing fee and accumulated overdue fines. Update Patron RecordIn order to maintain current information on your patron record, Library staff may ask you to update your record periodically when you are checking out materials. An online registration form is available for you to update information in your Library record. You should update your record...
