MEYERCORD LIBRARY
CHECK-OUT POLICY

The Meyercord Library provides valuable resources for our church members, and we need our materials returned in a timely fashion so that the entire church community may benefit from them.

The following is our Library Policy effective April 12, 2006:

  1. All books will be considered overdue when not returned by the duedate or renewal date, and attempts will be made to contact the patron by phone during the first week the material is past due.
  2. An overdue fine of .15 a day will be charged beginning approximately one week after the book is past due (after an overdue card has been sent).
  3. Books may be renewed once for two weeks, (with an option for a second renewal for two weeks at the Librarian’s discretion.) Renewals may be done in person or by phone– (leaving a message at X1277 is fine to renew a book).
  4. A Past Due Card will be sent to the patron after the book is over one week past due, reminding them that the book is still out, and needs to be returned or renewed. Past due fines will begin when the past due card is sent, but may be waived at the discretion of the Librarian.
  5. A Past Due Letter will be sent to the Patron after the past due card has been sent and at least two weeks has gone by with no response. Past Due fines and/or replacement cost for a lost book will be notated in the letter. Buying a replacement copy of the book (new or used) and donating it to the Library is considered fine as payment for a lost book.
  6. Check-out privileges may be suspended for persons who have more than 5 books overdue, or who have not returned a book after it is six weeks or more past due. This is at the discretion of the Librarian.
