Fiske Public Library Policies - Circulation
Library Card Policies
Residents may apply for a Fiske Library Card (provided they do not
already have a card at another SAILS library) at the Circulation Desk.
Identification (ie driver's license) is required in order to receive a
card. A patron must have a valid library card with them to borrow
materials. Lost cards will be replaced one time at no cost. Successive
replacements will be $1, $2, $3, etc.
The Board of Library Trustees has instituted a
policy that will charge out of state patrons $55 per year for a SAILS
card. The card entitles the patron to the full services of Fiske
Library and the network. There will be no additional assessment for any
other family members. Massachusetts libraries receive no compensation
from Rhode Island or any other states for providing service to their
residents. The policy was effective January 1, 2009.
YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE ANOTHER PERSON'S CARD WHEN BORROWING ITEMS OR SIGNING UP FOR THE COMPUTER ***NO EXCEPTIONS***

Beginning
September 2, 2018 SAILS has implemented a policy of automatically
renewing eligible Library materials three days before they are due.
Items will not be renewed if someone else has placed a hold, the item
has reached its renewal limit, your account is blocked due to excess
fines or fees, or the item is not renewable for some other reason (i.e.
ComCat and Interlibrary Loan). If an item CANNOT be renewed you will
receive a courtesy due soon notice (via phone, email, SMS Text) before
the materials are due. THANK YOU !
We do accept food for the Wrentham Food Pantry for
overdue fees. However, The Board of Trustees has voted to limit the
amount of food that can be used to pay overdue bills. You may bring in
food up to a limit of $5. Food may not be used to cover the cost of
lost materials. Remember that you can renew most items online. If you
provide us with your email address you will get an automatic reminder
three days before the items are due. Ask us if you need help. We would,
of course, prefer that you return items promptly – postage and staff
time are costly. |
