WOODBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY CIRCULATION POLICY

 

(For non-video materials only; for Video Policy, please see reverse side.)

 

 

Registering and Updating Cards:

 

Woodbury Library LOGIN card registration is free to anyone at least 3 years of age who resides or owns 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 a student ID, schedule or report card as identification.

 

Woodbury LOGIN cards need to be renewed periodically.  At renewal, a patron must show valid 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 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 Material:

 

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 books at a time per subject and/or author, and no more than 5 audiocassettes, 2 Books-on-CD and 4 music CDs may be checked out on a patron’s record at any given time. For video limits, see our Video Loan Policy (on reverse side.) Most material circulates for 2 weeks at a time.  However, upon your request items may be checked out for 4 weeks at a time, with the exception of items found on the ‘New’ shelves.  Most material may be renewed twice, for a total checkout of up to 6 weeks.  Renewals may be handled in person, by phone, or by using our online catalog at www.login-libraries.org . When renewing by phone, please have your library card and material nearby.

 

Patrons in good standing may borrow from any other LOGIN Consortium library, in accordance with that library’s policies. A list of LOGIN Libraries can be obtained at the Circulation Desk.

 

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 or 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 should be handled at a patron’s home library.

 

Fees and Fines:

 

Patrons are responsible for returning 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 overdue fine will not exceed the item’s replacement cost or $10.00, whichever is less. Patrons with 5 or more overdue items, or with outstanding monetary obligations over $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 for unreturned, lost or seriously damaged items.  Light damage to library material, such as torn pockets, missing covers or item 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.

 

**With the exception of 2-day DVDs (see our Video Agreement and Loan Policy on reverse side)
