Replacement Cards are available free of charge if you have lost or misplaced your card. Bring a photo ID to obtain a replacement card, please visit the Library.

Account Notifications

There are two options for account notifications:

Sign up for email and phone notifications when you register for a Library Card. The system will notify you when your holds are ready-for-pickup, or when your items need to be returned.
Library Elf is an additional free service to create customized account notifications, consolidated lists for you and your and your family’s accounts, receive email and/or text alerts before items are due.

Fees

The Library provides notifications and reminders to help you to keep your account up to date. To be contacted, please keep your email and contact information current. Below are our fees:

The Library has contracted with the Unique collection agency to assist in recovering unreturned library materials and unpaid fees. Accounts sent to the collection agency will have a non-refundable $10 service charge added to the balance. Charges for lost or damaged items include both the replacement cost and a $5 processing fee.
Borrowing privileges are suspended for overdue items, billed items, or fees totaling $20 or more.
Purchasing a replacement item to eliminate the lost/damage fee is not an available option due to the cataloging processes in place with our vendors.
