Patrons may visit the library to check out materials or place holds from the Catalog shown at the right using their library card. The User ID requested is the barcode on the library card and the PIN is the last four digits of the patron's phone number. Patrons may also call the library and ask to have materials held for them.
Patrons must present their library card to check out materials. There is an overall limit of 20 items at one time on a library card, two of which may be DVD's.
All books, including audiobooks and magazines, are loaned out for 2 weeks. You may call the library to renew items or renew from the Catalog at the right. All DVD's are loaned out for a period of 1 week and renewals are not allowed.
The library receives deliveries on Tuesdays and Fridays from North Country Library System, which includes over 65 other libraries. The patron will receive an email and phone call telling them their reserved materials are available. Items will be available for pickup for 3 business days after they are processed.
All items have a grace period of 1 day. Patrons are fined $.10 per day for each overdue item. A maximum fine of $2.00 per item is charged. Library users will lose borrowing privileges when fines exceed $5.00. Borrowing privileges will be suspended if a user has 5 or more overdue items. Privileges will not be restored until the materials are either returned and fines are paid or replacement costs are paid. Overdue materials that have reached the maximum fine of $2.00 may not be renewed until the fine is paid in full.
If a book or other material is damaged beyond repair, the borrower is required to pay the billed amount. Until the damaged item is paid for, the user may not borrow any items.
