•
Upon request, material may be renewed via a phone call or email. If there
are no requests by another patron for an item, it may be renewed.
Book Drop Returns:
The Library maintains a bookdrop available to patrons from outside the library
for our patrons’ convenience. Items returned after the library is closed will be
considered returned the next day. Materials returned in the book drop while
the library is open are checked in on the same day. The bookdrop is not
checked on Sundays or on holidays.
STEM Kits:
The primary purpose of STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) kits is
to provide education resources while exposing children to the STEM fields.
The kits assist children in developing critical thinking and deductive reasoning
skills. The library encourages kids of all ages to explore the STEM fields with a
variety of STEM kits for checkout. Because of this, a limited number of items
are available for checkout. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the
library administration.
•
Kits are available at the service desk on a first-come, first-serve basis. To
reserve a kit in advance, contact the library service desk.
•
Borrowers must have their own active library card and be in good
standing at time of checkout.
•
Reciprocal cards may not check out kits.
•
Library staff reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who abuses the
kits or is repeatedly late in returning them.
•
If a kit is lost, returned in parts, stolen, damaged, or otherwise not
returned the patron will be responsible to pay, repair, or replace the item.
Users are required to report any problems experienced during their
borrowing period.
•
The condition of the kit will be assessed before checkout and upon its
return.
Interlibrary Loan: What is it?
Resources are shared among libraries in order to meet the information,
creation, and research needs of library users. The purpose of an interlibrary
loan is to obtain, upon request of a library user, material not available in the
user’s local library. It is not meant to replace the library’s material but to
expand and enrich it. Winnebago Public Library participates in OCLC
WorldShare Interlibrary Loan System.
WPL receives interlibrary loan deliveries weekly on Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday mornings (excluding holiday and weather related closings).
Our Interlibrary Loan Service is ONLY available to WPL resident patrons.
Enriching. Empowering. Evolving.
