    Library Card Rules

    • Patrons are asked to have their library cards for all transactions.
    • Patrons may borrow up to 100 items at one time.
    • A patron’s library borrowing privileges will be suspended when the amount of unpaid fines reaches $25.00 or there are 20 or more overdue items on the card.
    • If your account balance is 60 days past due and equals $50 dollars or more, the library forwards your account to Unique Management Services, Inc., a library materials recovery agency. A service charge of $10 is added to your account. Unique Management Services will contact you to request the return of the overdue materials and payment of all outstanding charges.

    The purpose of fines is not to punish borrowers. Instead, the goal is to have library materials returned so that they can be used by other library patrons.

     

    Ways to Renew Library Materials

    In Person: Bring to the library one of the following: the item to be renewed, your library card or the check-out receipt.

    How to Pay Library Fines
