Guidelines for Library Use

  • Check Out Procedure - You may write or call in your request for materials. Please include: your name, address, and phone number. Also include: Title, author of the items, and the page number in the catalogue where each item you wish to borrow is found. Your request will be filled within one week.  When you receive your materials, you will find the due date in the front of the item and our address for returning them.
  • Unavailable Materials - If an item you are requesting is checked out, you will be notified by mail or phone and informed of the item's due date. We will hold your request pending the return of the item(s) requested that are not available.
  • Due Dates - The lending period is for 2 (two) months from the day the item is shipped. So that materials are readily available to the network, it is important that due dates are observed.
  • Renewal - You may renew an item if no one is waiting for the item. (We will maintain a waiting list.) You may renew an item once for a period of 1 (one) month. Call (775) 684-3485 to renew materials.
  • Past Due - If an item has not been received 5 (five) days after the due date, you will receive a written past due notice as well as a telephone reminder. The borrower will be billed for items not received 30 (thirty) days after the due date. If library materials are not returned or replaced, you will not be allowed to use the library in the future.
  • Check Out Limit - So that we can make as many items as possible available to the network at all times, we ask that you check out no more than 5 (five) items at one time. We will not ship out additional requests until previously loaned materials are returned.
  • Damaged/Lost Materials - Our library has many items which are one-of-a-kind or out of print, therefore it is imperative that great care is taken to return all items in the same condition as they were when sent to you. These items have been inspected and shipped in good condition. Upon receiving these items, you are responsible for any damage or loss that may occur while in your possession.
