Library Cards

Our circulation system requires each reader to have a library card. You must have the library card with you in order to check out books. The check-out equipment prints the card number & the due date on the book card. No one can use your number unless you give them your library card. You will be liable for all books checked out on your number.

Do not throw away your library card when it expires. Bring the card to the library. We will update the card and renew it for a new 3 year period.

Children in first grade and older can have their own library cards. If you want, the library will keep on file cards of children in grades 1 through 6. 7th graders & older must be responsible for their own cards.

If your card is lost or stolen, report it to the library immediately. We will cancel the old number so that it can no longer be used. You can then apply for a replacement card with a new number.

The fee for the replacement of lost library cards is $3.00. A new library card will be issued 1 week after being requested. The library does not mail new cards. Books can not be checked out until the new card is issued.

An application for a library card requires:

Identification - a driver's license, student body card, Social Security card, etc.

Proof of Address - any piece of mail with your current address.

Local Reference - the name, address & phone of an Orland resident who does not live at your address & would know your new address if you moved.
 
 

Circulation

All items are checked out for 3 weeks.

New borrowers may check out only 2 items on their first visit.

Reference books do not circulate.
 

Interlibrary Loan

If the book or information you want is not available in the Orland Free Library you can request that it be borrowed from another library. Ask the library staff for assistance.

Fines and Fees

Books & other library materials not returned on time are over-due and fines will be charged. Fines of .10 per day per item are charged. There is a maximum fine of $2.00 per item. Fines are not charged for week-ends or holidays. Fines are due only for days the library is open.

The library charges for lost & damaged materials. Charges for lost books are based on current prices & include a fee to cover replacement costs.

Anyone who has accumulated fines and/or charges of $5.00 or more may not check out anything until the fines are paid in full.

Renewals

You may renew your books at the library or by phone. Books may be renewed once unless someone has requested them. Phone renewals are limited to 10 items.

Interlibrary loan materials must be returned according to the requirements of the lending library. We cannot renew anything borrowed from another library.
