WOODBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY VIDEO LOAN POLICY

 

 

The Woodbury Public Library circulates videos (i.e. VHS videocassettes and DVDs) subject to the following conditions:

 

Who May Borrow:

 

     Anyone 18 years of age or older with a LOGIN membership in good standing may borrow videos from the Woodbury Public Library.

 

2-Day DVD Borrowing Terms:

 

     2-day DVDs circulate without charge for 2 days at a time.  If the library does not have operating hours on the second day after checkout, the item will not be due until the next business day.  DVDs may be renewed in person, by phone or from our online catalog.  2-day DVDs that have not been returned or renewed by the close of business on the date due will incur a fine of $2.00 per day per item. Charges will be posted on the patron’s fine record, and should be paid when the items are returned.  Patrons who fail to return DVDs for more than 2 days past their due date may have their LOGIN borrowing privileges suspended until the items are returned and all charges are paid.  DVDs currently in circulation may not be reserved or held for a patron.  A maximum of 2 DVDs at a time may be checked out at this library.

A maximum of 5 video items at a time, including videocassettes and DVDs, may be checked out at this library. Of these, no more than 2 at a time may be DVDs.   

 

Returning DVDs and Videocassettes:

 

     DVDs and videocassettes borrowed from the Woodbury Public Library may not be returned to any other library.  During business hours, videocassettes and DVDs should be returned to the circulation desk of the Woodbury Public Library. When the library is closed, DVDs and videocassettes may be returned in the book drop outside our main entrance, or in the return slot in the wall next to our Russell Street delivery entrance. All material returned after the close of business will be checked in the following business day, and any fines due will be charged to the patron’s record.
