Library Cards |
|
A library card
may be issued to any person furnishing proof of identity and
residency.
A fee of $1.00 (one
dollar) will be charged for replacement of lost or damaged
library cards.
Acceptance
of a library card constitutes acknowledgment of responsibility
for its use, for materials borrowed with it, and for all fines
charged against it. Parents assume responsibilities for
their children under 18 years of age.
Youths 14 to 18 years of age may be granted
YV status with special permission from a parent or
guardian. YV indicates the parent’s permission to
borrow freely from the collection without restriction.

Damaged & Lost Materials

| |
When a patron claims to have returned the material, that the
Library records show to be outstanding, a search will be made
for that material. If this material cannot be located, a
“claims returned” will be noted on the patron’s record.
The Library will continue the search. After 6 months, the item
is considered lost.
A patron is required
to pay for replacement costs when material is returned only if,
in the Library’s estimation, it is beyond repair, or if in the
case of audio-visual materials not usable. A patron
will be charged repair costs for damaged materials. For
materials damaged beyond repair or lost, or missing pieces,
a patron will be charged the current cost, plus 10%
processing charge. No refund will be made after six months
or if the material is replaced. The processing fee will
not be refunded. If all fines and costs have been paid on
a damaged item, the patron may keep the item.
When a patron reports the borrowed item lost
or fails to return it, the patron will make restitution to the
Library by paying for the item.
A patron who does not
pay for damaged or lost materials after being properly notified
will be denied borrowing privileges if the amount is over $10.00.
