Borrowing
It is
essential to bring your library card if you want to borrow. You are
legally responsible for all materials borrowed on your card and for
any charges incurred.
A Child’s application form must be signed by an adult who will take
responsibility for items issued on that card and for any charges
relating to the card. These rules are made to safeguard both
you and the library.
Do not lend your card to other people and
let us know immediately if your card has been lost or stolen. The
replacement charge for a library card is $2.00.
Please let us know quickly if you have a change of address, phone
number or other details.
