MVLC Circulation Policies
Each member library is an independent entity and regulations, fines and charges will vary from library to library. However, MVLC members do have some policies in common:
- Residents of MVLC communities must have a library card from their home-town library.
- Your MVLC card may be used at any public library in the consortium.
- You are responsible for all materials borrowed on your card.
- Most materials may be returned to any MVLC library.
- Replacement costs will be charged for lost or damaged materials.
- Fines and replacement costs may be paid at any MVLC library.
- Borrowing privileges will be suspended if materials are not returned or if overdue fines are not paid.
Also, for your own protection, please remember:
- If you change your name or your address, please report it to your local library immediately.
- If your card is lost or stolen, please report it to your local library immediately.
