Responsible Use of Library Card

You may download this complete document here.

Delaware County Library System library cards are to be used only by the person to whom issued. When application is made, the applicant is agreeing to comply with the library’s borrowing policies. Parents or legal guardians must sign the application card for children 17 years old and younger. Adult borrowers may use their card to check out material for children under their care and supervision. Children may use their card to check out materials except for videos, DVDs, and CD-ROMs.

At certain times, the library may place limits on the quantity of material borrowed by one individual or household so that the limited resources of the collections can be made available to as many borrowers as possible.

Borrowing privileges may be suspended for cause or resumed for good reason at any point in the borrowing/fines/billing process.

Stolen library cards must be reported to the library. The library will immediately invalidate the card.
