Weston Library
Circulation Policies
Library Cards
Free Library cards are issued
to residents of Weston upon registration at the Library. Our Library cards are honored in all public
libraries in the state. Cardholders are
responsible for items checked out on their library cards. Cards are issued for a period of three years,
requiring updating upon expiration. Lost
library cards may be replaced for a fee of $1.00. Adults may be asked to provide proof of
current street address upon registration. Driver’s licenses, leases, or utility
bills are acceptable forms of identification.
A post office box is not a sufficient address.
We welcome children to the
Library and issue cards to registered kindergarten pupils and older
students. Your child may borrow items
from the entire Library collection. The
staff is responsible for providing equal access to services for all Library
users. Parents who prefer their children
not have access to certain materials should so advise their children.

*Should a patron be unable to present a library card,
borrowing will be limited to two items.
This limitation will also apply in the event that our
automated system is down.
Renewals
Most items in the Library’s
collection may be renewed once if no other patron has placed a reserve on the
item. These renewals may be made online or
by telephone as well as at the Library desk.
Notice of overdues
An overdue notice is sent two
weeks after an item was due. A second notice follows four weeks later. A bill
for the replacement cost of the item is sent three months after the item was due. Borrowing privileges will be suspended if
fines or lost materials owed against a card reach $10.00. All privileges will be reinstated upon return
of lost materials or payment of monies owed.
Privacy
Library patron’s borrowing
records are confidential and excluded from the Freedom of Information Act. Library staff may not give information about
a patron’s borrowing record to anyone other than that patron.
