Please note both branches of the library will be closed Friday, March 29th and Monday, April 1st. We will be open with regular hours (10am - 5pm), on Saturday, March 30th.

  1. Due to privacy legislation, the Cardholder is the only person who may use the Card unless signed authorization is given using the “Family/Group User Consent” form. If the “Family/Group User Consent” form has not been signed, a Parent/Legal Guardian can still access the account information for a child under 12 years of age if he/she provides proof that he/she lives at the same residence as the child and the other Parent/Legal Guardian
  2. Loss or theft of the Card must be reported immediately to the Library, in-person or by telephone. The Cardholder is responsible for all materials borrowed and all charges attributable to the Card before the loss or theft of the Card is reported.
