Library materials requested from other libraries
in the consortium are circulated according to the rules of the home
library. Loan periods may be different from those of the Mark Twain
Library.
All Mark Twain Library materials may be renewed
twice, except for new DVDs, which cannot be renewed at all,
and all other movies which can be renewed once.
An item cannot be renewed if another Mark Twain
Library patron has placed a request for it.
Items may be renewed by calling or visiting the
library. Items can be renewed online as well, but if the patron
has an overdue fine of more than $5.00, the system will block the
renewal request.
All Mark Twain Library materials incur an overdue
fine of $.20/day, except for the following: Children’s and Young adult materials are $.10/day, theatrical-release
DVDs are $2.00/day, and museum passes have overdue fines of $5.00/day.
There is a maximum of $5.00 in fines on each individual library
item, except for theatrical-release DVDs which have maximum fines
of $10, and museum passes, which incur fines until the day of return.
Once a patron has incurred a total of $5.00 or
more in unpaid fines on his account, he is blocked from borrowing
additional library materials until the total amount of fines on
the account has been reduced to less than $5.00. This restriction
includes fines from all member Bibliomation libraries, and affects
borrowing privileges at all member Bibliomation libraries. Outstanding
fines can be paid at any Bibliomation library; it does not matter
at which library the fines originated. Parents are responsible for
fines on their children's accounts (for children up to age 16).
The library now helps patrons to avoid overdue
materials by sending "courtesy reminders" by email a few days before
library items are due.
If a library item is returned to the library in
non-circulating condition, or if a patron has lost or never returned
a borrowed item, the patron is responsible for paying the cost of
replacement of the item as determined by the library. The patron's
borrowing privileges (at all Bibliomation libraries) are suspended
until this cost is paid.
