Tip of the Week
Did you know that the items you check out will renew automatically? As long as there’s no one waiting for the item, it will renew up to the maximum 2 times, setting new due dates automatically. Just sit back and watch the magic happen! You’ll get an email notification when your items renew. (Please read the email in case any items could not renew.)
Also, we no longer charge overdue fines! If an item reaches 28 days overdue, then you will be charged the replacement cost of the item. But if you bring it back, you’ll owe nothing! (Feel guilty? Donations to our non-profit support group, the Friends of the Library, are always appreciated.)
