All general library policies apply for Bookmobile patrons.
Key points:
- Patrons Must present valid card to checkout or make requests.
- Patrons Must obtain library cards in-person with valid picture ID and proof of permanent residential address in property tax areas. Any address changes or updates to the card information need to be communicated to us as soon as possible. (Exception: School students will require the completed permission slip and registration card).
- All new adult cardholders will be given the borrower’s policies
- Rural fee and temporary cards stay the same as regular policies with limits in place.
- Replacement cards are $2.00 each.
- Overdues – the only exception is that Bookmobile items are due at the next regularly scheduled stop at that location (up to 5 weeks). Overdues will be sent out.
- Lost or damaged items – Overdues are sent at 1 week overdue, 2 weeks overdue and at 1 month overdue a bill is sent with a 30 day grace at which time bills may be sent to our Collection agency. If patrons contact us before the Collection Agency, we are more than happy to work with them to remedy the overdue dilemma.
- Schools will provide a complete listing of current students prior to the 1st visit in the fall, updating this list as students leave and enroll. Class-scheduled library time slots will be agreed upon by the teacher and the Bookmobile librarian.
- Teachers/schools may set their own limits as long as they are lower than the policy. These limits must be communicated in writing to the Bookmobile librarian.
- All items checked out by bookmobile students must be returned by the last Bookmobile visit in Apr/May (before the school term ends). Any items not returned, damaged, or lost are the responsibility of the cardholder or their guardian.
- Make-up - If weather, illness, or mechanical problems cause us to miss a regular Bookmobile stop, every effort will be made to contact any patrons from the canceled route for renewals or requests.
