The following information
will help acquaint you with the most important rules and
regulations pertaining to materials circulation. In order
to serve every patron fairly and as best we can, it is necessary for
the library to enforce these regulations consistently. If you
have any questions regarding them, our staff will be happy to
help.
CHECK-OUT: A
library card is required at all times for check-out. A single
receipt is given to each patron with the borrowed items listed,
showing the due date and title of each
item.
BORROWING TIME:
Most items circulate for a three-week period. Videos,
holiday books, and periodicals (current editions do not circulate) circulate for one week. There is a section in the
library reading room containing new adult books that circulate for
14 days.
LIMITS: During check-out,
some items are limited to 5 per library card--14-day books and
Christmas books. Other limits are: 2 holiday books.
RENEWALS: Items may
be renewed at the library with the item(s) and your library card, or
by telephone--call the library at 610-965-2272 (10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Mon-Sat).
Please have your library card and materials to be renewed on hand.
Items reserved by another patron may not be renewed. Holiday books may not be renewed.
You may also renew on-line using your library card number and PIN

OVERDUES: Overdue
fines are charged on materials returned past their due date at the

books are 50 cents per item per day. Lost items are assessed
at the cost of the item plus a $3.00 service
