WOODBURY
PUBLIC LIBRARY CIRCULATION POLICY
(For non-video materials only; for
information regarding videocassettes and DVDs, please see our Video Policy.)
Registering and Updating Cards:
Woodbury Library LOGIN card registration is free to those aged 6 and up who reside or own property in Woodbury. To obtain a card you must show valid ID such as a driver’s license, providing proof of who you are and where you reside. Utility bills, rent receipts, printed checks, etc. may be used to demonstrate residency, but should be combined with a form of ID which establishes your identity. Children under 18 years old will need a parent or legal guardian to show proper ID and co-sign their application. Students attending Woodbury Public schools may use student IDs, schedules or report cards as identification.
Woodbury
LOGIN cards need to be renewed periodically, with renewal dates noted on
cards. At renewal, a patron must show
ID. The patron’s record will be updated, including any changes to name,
address, telephone number, etc. All
outstanding fines or overdue material must also be cleared at this time.
Woodbury residents with clear patron records may renew their cards for 2 years
at the Woodbury Library, or for 1 year at any other LOGIN library.
Cards
which are valid only at the Woodbury Library are available free of charge to
those who are employed in Woodbury and do not reside in a LOGIN Consortium
community. They may be purchased by
other residents of non-LOGIN communities for an annual fee of $20.00.
Borrowing and Returning Library Materials:
Patrons
age 12 and over may borrow up to 15 items at a time from the Woodbury
Library. Children under 12 may borrow up
to 10 items. There is a limit of 2-3
items at a time per subject and/or author, and other limits on non-print media.
Most material circulates for 2 weeks at a time.
However, upon your request books may be checked out for 4 weeks at a
time, with the exception of items found on the ‘New’ shelves. Material may be renewed twice, for a total
checkout of 6 weeks. Renewals may be
handled in person or on the telephone.
When renewing by phone, please have your library card and material
nearby.
Patrons in good standing may
borrow from any other LOGIN member library, in accordance with that library’s
policies. Other LOGIN libraries are the
Wenonah Public Library, Westville Public Library, Gloucester County Institute
of
During
business hours, material should be returned at the Circulation Desk. When the
library is closed, items may be returned in the return slot in our Russell
Street wall. Printed material may also be returned in the blue book receptacle
near our main entrance off the city parking lot.
If
there is an item that we are unable to provide, we will be glad to attempt to
borrow it for you on Interlibrary Loan.
Interlibrary loan requests must be handled at a patron’s home library.
Fees and Fines:
Patrons
are responsible for returning their library material in a timely manner, and in
the same condition as when borrowed.
Overdue library material incurs a fine of 10˘ per item each business day
until it has been returned.** Items returned after regular business hours will
be checked in the following business day. The library does not have a grace period
for late items. Each fine will not exceed $10.00 or the item’s replacement
cost, whichever is less. Patrons with 5
or more items overdue, or with outstanding monetary obligations exceeding
$5.00, may not borrow library material until the items are returned and the
fines/bills reduced to less than $5.00. Patrons will be charged the replacement
cost of lost or seriously damaged items.
Light damage to library material, such as torn pockets, missing covers
or book barcodes will be charged at 50˘ per item.
A
lost or stolen library card should be reported as soon as possible, to avoid
being held responsible for material checked out by others on your card. There is a $3.00 charge for the replacement
of lost, stolen or damaged cards.
Damaged card barcodes may be replaced at no charge. Fines exceeding
$5.00 must be paid directly to the library that loaned the material that
generated the charge, or at another LOGIN library using a check made payable to
the lending library.
