Program rules & FAQ

Borrowing policy

  • Loans last 30 days from the day you pick the book up at the front desk.
  • Books change hands only at the library desk — lenders and borrowers never meet.
  • Return books to the front desk by the due date; staff return them to the lender.
  • A $25 replacement fee applies to books that are lost or returned damaged.

Patron privacy

We never share your name, contact information, or card number with other participants. Library staff handle all communications.

Accessibility

If you need help using the website or the service, ask at the front desk or contact library staff — we are glad to assist in English, Spanish, or Vietnamese.
