The Ultimate Resource to Stay Informed: the LIBRARY Card

Just because September is Library Card Month, doesn't mean that you have to wait until September to sign up for one. It could be the best school supply you ever acquired.

Here are Patron Guidelines as described on the Lansdowne Library website.

"Any Delaware County resident may obtain a library card at no cost. The signature of a parent or guardian is required for all children under the age of 18. Children under the age of 18 must have their library card with them in order to check out any materials, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.

A Delaware County Library Card can be used in any library within the county. All borrowed items belonging to a Delaware County library may be returned at any county library. All items borrowed using Inter-Library Loan must be returned to the library from which they were borrowed.

Most books and audio books may be borrowed for three weeks. Items can be renewed twice if the item is not on hold for another patron. Videos and DVDs may be borrowed for three days only on an adult card at a cost of $2.00 per item. Patrons are limited to four Videos/DVD rentals at a time and these items may not be renewed.

Only three non-fiction books under the same call number can be checked out per patron at a time in order to ensure that enough materials are available for reports or other school related projects."
