Library Policies
The following policies govern how we use our library. You may also ask to receive a copy of our Policies & Procedures brochure when you visit the Library.
Limits | Printing & Fax Fees | Fines & Fees | Returning Materials | Computers & Internet

Patrons are responsible for ALL items checked out on their own card. A parent or legal guardian who signs a minor's application card accepts responsibility for items checked out for that child.
Patrons MUST present their Library card to check out materials. If you should forget your card, you may use a valid Photo ID.
Upon receiving your Library Card there will be a 3 month probation period. During this time a limit of only 3 materials may be checked out.
Changes in any contact information should be promptly reported to the Library so our records can be updated.
