III. Circulation Limits and Fines

(Amended March 2026)

A library card or photo ID must be presented to check out library materials.

First-Time Users of Individual account cards will be limited to five items for their initial checkout. On return of those items, they will have full borrowing privileges.

Temporary Residents may check out a maximum of five items per card.

All other cardholders in good standing may have a maximum of one hundred items checked out on each card.

Books, periodicals, and audiobooks circulate for four weeks. These may be renewed for two additional four-week periods, provided no request has been placed on the item. Requested items may not be renewed. New materials may be limited to a 14-day checkout period.

Audiovisual materials (other than audiobooks) circulate for one week. These may be renewed for one additional one-week period, provided no request has been placed on the item.

Items returned later than 30 days after due date will be charged the replacement cost of the item.

An individual who accrues $100 or more in fines may have borrowing rights suspended until fines have been paid. Fines may be paid incrementally, and borrowing privileges may be restored when fines are reduced below $100. Cardholders who abuse library policies or damage library materials may lose borrowing rights permanently.

Materials may be renewed or holds placed by phone by providing the patron's name and library card number. Patrons may also renew or place requests on-line.
