DVD video is the only item type that has a checkout limit. Each user may check out a limit of 8 DVDs at one time. There are no other limits to checkout of circulating materials.
• Books, audiobooks on cassette tape, and audiobooks on CD check out for 28 days.
• Music CDs, software CD-ROMs, and VHS videotapes check out for 14 days.
• DVDs check out for 7 days.
Please return materials on time so other library users can enjoy them!
Items may be renewed up to 2 times, as long as your library account is in good standing – unless the items are on hold, which means another library user is waiting for them. Please return materials on time, especially if someone else is waiting for them.
Digital media, such as downloadable audiobooks and eBooks, have different limits depending on the source and type of media. Most items remain checked out to you for a set time period regardless of when you are finished with them. Details are available on the web pages where those items are checked out.
The library’s digital and downloadable offerings are explained on our Digital Media page.

Never give up! The Library wants to help everyone find their materials. Never hesitate to ask for assistance in the Library. Often staff will be able to find the unfindable. If someone else is using the item, staff can help you place a “hold” on the item so you’ll be in line to get it when it’s returned. Staff can assist you with other alternatives, such as borrowing from other libraries (Interlibrary Loan) or submitting an online request.
Five or more overdue items or $50 or more worth of overdue materials will block your borrowing privileges and your ability to place holds. This will be cleared when the overdue items are returned and checked in. Also, you will be billed for any materials not returned when they are 28 days overdue. For more information call the Circulation Department at (352) 334-3950.
