Borrowing

Bring your Card Pouwer every time you visit the Library - you won't need it to use most materials within the Library or attend most programs, but you will need it to check out materials or to access the Internet. If you wish to borrow 20+ items, staff will also ask you for identification. Materials, except for bestsellers, are loaned for a three week period but you may request an extended loan period under special circumstances (e.g. vacation, hospital stay, etc.). Bestsellers, identified by a special sticker, are available for a two week period. Your borrowing record is confidential but you can check it by computer or phone - please ask staff for your Personal Identification Number (PIN).

Returns

To avoid paying fines, keep track of the dur date for each item borrowed and return all materials on time. You may retun materials to any Library in person or through our 24-hours book chutes available at all Libraries.
