Policy and Procedure
| I. Borrowers |
|
| |
A. Anyone may use the
Salamanca Public Library. A borrower's card is required of all
those who wish to borrow books and other materials for home use.
Cards are available to anyone who lives in the State of New
York. Transients and out-of-state patrons may also be issued
cards at the discretion of the Director. |
| |
B. Applications for a card
must be made in person at the library. An adult who provides
acceptable identification may borrow materials immediately; a
parent's or guardian's signature is required on a child's
application before a card will be issued. |
| |
C. Adult cards are issued to
student's in seventh grade and above. Children's cards may be
issued to those who complete the library's annual story hour

issued for a three(3) year period. Children's cards are issued
as needed and may be converted to adult cards once the
individual enters seventh grade. When a borrower's card expires,
it may be reissued provided there is no record of lost or
unreturned books. Such accounts must be cleared before a card
will be renewed. |

E. The borrower is responsible
for all use made of his card and for the loss or damage to
materials charged on it. He is advised not to lend his card to
another person, nor to check out materials for the use of
another person. Lost cards should be reported promptly. |

materials are in use the borrower may file a reserve for the
material. The patron will then be notified when the material is
available. |

replacement cost for the lost material is charged. If an item is
damaged, charges are made according to the extent of the damage,
as determined by the Library. |
