Circulation Department
The Circulation Department of Bowlby Library is responsible for checking items in and out of the Library. They will also provide Greene County residents with a library card, free of charge, upon proof of residency.
Circulation Policies
- Most materials circulate two weeks: books and vertical files, books-on-tape and books-on-CD.
- Videos, cassettes, AV equipment, records, kits, periodicals and slides circulate for one week.
- Most materials are renewable one time, as long as they are not on hold for another person. Renewals must be made in person, no renewals are accepted over the phone.
- Videos, cassettes, and book-on-tape/books-on-CD are limited to four total. Patrons must be over 16 to borrow these types of items.
During a two week period, only 10 items may be checked out to any one person. This includes all circulation materials. All material must be returned by the due date. Patrons are responsible for lost or damaged items and for any fines. Abuse of materials and library policies will result in loss of library privileges.
Lost or Damaged Materials
If you should lose or damage any books, cassettes, videos, etc., you will be charged the cost of the item plus a $2.00 processing fee. Damaged material fees will be determined by the Library.
Interlibrary Loans (ILL)
The Interlibrary Loan System is a service to the patrons, provided by Eva K. Bowlby Public Library. Should the Library not own a copy of a book that the patron wishes to read, Bowlby Library will then request the copy from another library. Once the book is received, patrons must sign an Interlibrary Loan Contract, which binds them to upholding the borrowing policies of this Library as well as the lending library. Most interlibrary loan materials may not be renewed. ILL materials must be returned by the due date. We do not place interlibrary loan requests for videos, books-on-tape, DVDs, ASVAB or NEXUS workbooks.
