Library Borrowing Policies
How do I check out materials from Delta Community Library?
Short new patron application. Bring desired materials to the front desk and show your library card.

When and how can I use the wireless internet?
Any device with wireless connection capabilities should be able to connect to our wireless internet from anywhere inside the library (or from library parking lot) 24 hours a day
​
How can I gain access to the computer stations?

​
How much does it cost to print or make copies?
Copies and printed pages cost $.25 per page.
Can I send or receive a fax from

Yes. Our fax service costs $2.00 for the first page and $1 for subsequent pages to send and/or receive.
When are materials due back?
DVDs are checked out for 1 week.
Books & audio books are checked out for 1 month.
​
What do I do if I need more time with materials I have already checked out?
You may renew materials one time unless they are more than a month overdue. If no one else is waiting for the item, you may be able to renew it a second time.
​
How will I know that I have an overdue item?
We send out text or e-mail notifications every 2 weeks. If you don’t have an e-mail, we will call or mail a notice.
​
How much are late fees?
We believe an open and honest environment brings out the best in people. Therefore, we do not charge a late fee. We do, however, have a donation box for “overdue guilt” fees. We do charge for damaged or broken resources.
​
What do I do if I lost the materials I checked out?
The price for a replacement item will be charged. Fees can be paid at the library desk.
At DCL, we strive to provide the community with access to print and non-print recreational materials, materials for independent self education and general research. These services are provided free of charge. If DCL does not have the materials you are looking for, you may use our Interlibrary Loan process to borrow the materials from other libraries throughout the state.
​
DCL supports intellectual freedom and endorses both the “Freedom to Read” and the “Library Bill of Rights” statements. The choice of library materials by users is an individual matter.
​
Here at DCL, you can find books, audio books, music, movies, news papers, magazines, and much more! We also provide services such as wireless internet, faxing, test proctoring, and PFD and IRS forms.
Our staff here at DCL is always willing to answer any questions patrons may have, and always with 100% confidentiality. Comments and suggestions are welcome also.
