Using the Library

Renewals
Items can be renewed for another two weeks by bringing them into the library for renewal, or by calling the circulation desk at (814) 834-6141. Books may be renewed three times unless a request for them is placed by another patron. There is a limit of ten items per family member. Some materials may be limited to four day loan periods or placed on reserve (for in-library use only) if a school project is due and many students need them.

Fines
The fine for overdue books, periodicals, and cassettes is 10 cents a day, with a maximum of $25.00 per family. The fine for overdue DVDs is one dollar per day per item with a maximum of the cost of the video. Interlibrary loan late fees are 25 cents per day per item. Lost cards can be replaced for $2.00.

Holds
If an item has been taken out by another patron, you may place a hold on it and you will be called when it is returned. If there are already other holds placed on it, your name will be placed on the waiting list and you will be called when your turn comes. Computers and Internet Access :

A valid library card is required for computer use, and acceptable use guidelines must be followed. Please register for computer use at the Circulation Desk.

Interlibrary Loan
If the St. Marys Public Library does not have the resource you need, we can try to get it through Interlibrary loan. You must have a valid library card to obtain materials through Interlibrary loan. Please make Interlibrary loan requests at the Circulation Desk.
  • A Special Note on Self-Published Titles: With the self-publishing industry churning out titles at an all time high, libraries are receiving more and more requests for items from these publishers. Please understand that we will do everything in our power to locate these items, but sometimes these items are in limited supply or non-existent for lending by other libraries. To identify whether an item is self published, search for the title on Amazon, scroll down to the Product Details area and check out the publisher. Common self-publishing companies are AuthorHouse, Cafe Press, Create Space, Lulu, Smashwords, Vantage Press, Wattpad and Xlibris.

Requests
If there is an item that you would like the Library to consider adding to its collection, ask for a Patron Request Form at the Circulation Desk.
