There are no charges for borrowing library materials as long as things are returned on time and in the same condition. When items reach two (2) weeks late your account is blocked from further checkouts, renewals, and holds. Returning the late items will automatically restore access. When an item is a month overdue, a bill is generated for its replacement cost. When a billed item is returned, the bill for the item is automatically removed.

Overdue Hotspots will be turned off and unable to connect to service. Overdue Hotspots will be charged a $1/day overdue fee. After 30 days overdue, the Hotspot will be considered lost and patron will be billed. For more information about Hotspot fees, refer to the Mobile Hotspot Lending Policy.

Long Answer:  The following are required to obtain a library card.

• If photo ID does not show current address, any printed material that shows current address is acceptable (printed checks, utility bill, cancelled envelope, etc.), along with the photo ID
• Children may use their parents’ ID if they have no proof of current address.
• An individual who owns property in Kansas but does not live here may show a property tax bill in order to be considered a resident.
