Libraries do not lend rare or fragile items, audio-visual materials, or items in high demand. Most libraries do not lend genealogy, microfilm or items designated as reference in their catalog. Libraries are under no obligation to lend materials.

There is a limit of five open requests at one time per patron. An item may be borrowed one time within a three-month period.

Interlibrary loan materials cannot be renewed and those materials returned late with be assessed a fine of $1.00 per day. Patrons who fail to return materials borrowed on their behalf will be charged the cost of the item (as determined by the lending library), plus a $25.00 processing fee. Patrons who request an item through interlibrary loan and fail to pick it up after notification by the library will be assessed a fee of $1.00 for each unclaimed title. For items that must be returned to another library (e.g., books or AV materials) the patron is responsible for the postage.

Borrowers are asked to sign the following statement:

I understand that as an interlibrary loan borrower, I am responsible for:

• Any charges assessed by the lending library, whether or not I choose to use the material;

   

• Overdue fines of $1.00 per day as assessed by City of Denison Public Library and additional charges/fines/fees imposed by the lending institution;

   

• Replacement cost plus processing fees of $25.00 if the materials are lost or damaged;

   

• Compliance with the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code).
