The regular circulation period is three weeks from the day that the book, audio-cassette, or music CD is checked out. 7-day material such as videocassettes and DVD's are labeled (and do not renew). Vacation loans are available for six weeks. Vacation loans are not allowed on 7-day materials or on new books.   Books may be renewed one time by using the "My Account" feature in the web catalog..  If the screen asks for "User ID", that is your library card number (barcode number) and your PIN number is the last four digits of your phone number.

The following material does not circulate: Reference books, newspapers, and Adult magazines at Katy Geissert Civic Center Library.

Starting July 1, 2003 there will no longer be a grace period for return of library materials, due to budget constraints.  Fines begin accruing the day after the materials are due.  Also beginning July 1, 2003, Videos and DVD's overdue fine will be $1.00 per item per day, and all Juvenile materials will be 25 cents per day.
