You can renew interlibrary loan materials if allowed by the lending library. Contact Suzanne Tiranno before the item due date.

We charge $.25 per day for overdue interlibrary loan materials.
Lost items
If you've misplaced an item, please let us know as soon as possible.
We will automatically mark an item as lost if it is more than 28 days overdue.
If you have several lost items on your record, you may not be able to borrow additional materials.
