Aberdeen District Library

Revised 9-14-2005

Loan Periods for Materials

All items in the general collections have a two-week check out period. The patron may renew items once if a hold has been placed on that item, otherwise they can renew as needed for a reasonable amount of time.

Check-Out of Materials

Patron’s library card is requested. If they have forgotten their card, their number may be looked up in the database and then told to please bring their card next time. If their card is lost and can not be found within a reasonable amount of time the patron will be required to purchase a replacement card at the cost of $5.00.

Patrons will not be allowed to check out materials or use the computers as long as they have overdue items out, and/or have unpaid fines.

Reference Materials

There are two types of reference materials, those that do not check out and those that are available for check out (i.e. older encyclopedias, some dictionaries, and study materials).

Reference and other materials that are difficult to replace will not be available for check out. The library will copy an appropriate amount of pages for the patron at no cost.
