Circulation & Collection
Most books are allowed to be checked out for 3 weeks, and renewable for another three if there are no holds on them.
There are fiction and non-fiction videos, DVDs, and magazines available for children and adults and these may be checked out for 1 week at a time.
Books-on-cassette, Books-on-CD, and CD-ROMs are allowed to be taken home for 3 weeks.
The library is part of the Inter-Library Loan System and can get any book, video, CD a patron would like. If a book is not in at the moment, or the library does not own it, we would be happy to place it on hold, or request it via Inter-Library Loan. Most books can be made available within a week.
