Circulation Policies

• Getting a Library Card
  
  · You must apply in person.
  
  · You must show some form of identification that verifies your current address
     such as a driver's license or other form of ID
  
  · You may use your new card immediately.
  
  · Your card will be up for renewal either every 6 months or every 12 months. At that
     time you will be asked to show proof of address and to clear all charges against your
     card. Do not discard your card as you will be using the same card for multiple renewals.
  
  · If your card is lost or stolen you must notify us immediately so that we may cancel it.
    Otherwise, you are responsible for all items on that card up until the time of cancellation.
  
  · To replace a lost or damaged card you must pay a $1.00 fee and show proof of address.
  
  · All patrons, adult and juvenile, are expected to bring their library cards with them if they
     intend to check out items. An individual who repeatedly ignores this expectation may be
     denied the privilege of checking out materials until they present their card at the library.
   

· Your due date is stamped on the back of the item.

· You may renew an item one time provided the item is not on reserve for another person

· You may renew in person or by phone. To renew by phone, you must have your CLAN
   card number available when you call.
