Checking Out Books
Visiting your local library can be a wonderful experience. Once you have a library card, the number of
books that you can bring home to enjoy is virtually limitless! Most libraries have a loan period of two to
four weeks. Videos and high-demand items often can be checked out for only one week. Reference
materials are items that you must use in the library; they may not be checked out.
