Borrowing

• Books may be checked out for two weeks. Books may be renewed for an additional two weeks. New books or in-demand books will be checked out for one week.

• Overdue books will be fined 10 cents per day up to the cost of replacement of the item.

• Patrons in good standing may check out books that our library does not own through Interlibrary Loan. The first three items received per patron per year are no charge; after three items we ask for postage reimbursement.
