Borrowing Materials: A library is a cooperative effort and everyone benefits if all members participate fairly. We ask you to consider the following:

Please treat your library card seriously, like a credit card!

Don't allow anyone else to borrow items on your card -- you are financially responsible for items checked out on your card.

Please return items on time and in good condition.
