Circulation Policies

Library Cards - District residents can apply for a card and begin using the library the same day. Non-district residents are eligible to borrow under direct access.

Patrons age birth through 14 years will have a Children's Library Card with privileges to borrow any children's circulating items in the Library.

At age 15 we will automatically change the privileges of a Children's Library Card to that of an Adult Library Card.

Parents have the option of changing their child's Library card to a Adult Library Card before the age of 15 or keeping their child's Library card as a Children's Library Card until the age of 18.

Reserves can be made on all library materials by resident card holders in person or through the online catalog. If we don't own an item that you are interested in borrowing, we may be able to get the item from another library through interlibrary loan. Please see the Reference Librarian for help placing reserves and interlibrary loans.

Unlimited renewals can be made on most materials except those with reserves. New entertainment DVDs are allowed one renewal. New adult fiction and new adult non-fiction are allowed 3 renewals each.

Renewals can be made in person, online or by phoning the library at 631-324-0222 ext 1. Please have your library barcode ready when renewing. Past due items cannot be renewed online.

Overdue fines are not charged for Children's books. All other Library items have overdue fines as shown below.
