Borrowing from the Library

All new members receive a library card. The library card enables members to borrow books and items from library.  Library cards must be shown each time an item is borrowed.

Members can borrow up to 8 items at a time for 3 weeks (21 days).

Items can be renewed once, as long as the item has not been reserved. Members can renew their items in person.

Reservations can be placed on items that are not currently available. To place a reservation, ask the librarian to help. Members can have up to 8 items reserved at any one time.

The library also offers interlibrary loans for items that are not part of the normal selection.
