The Library's Circulation
Department is always available to answer
any questions you may have about your library card, what you have
currently checked out, or if we have a particular title on shelf that you may need. We provide interlibrary loans and reserve material
on request.
You can now check your card online at any time of the day to
see what you have checked out and when it is due. Patrons are also
able to renew their own material online and pay their own fines from
at home. Call the Circulation Desk for more information.

Limits on Lending
Changed
We no longer have limits on how many compact discs, CD-ROM’s,
books on cassettes and books on CD that you can check out here at the
library. We now allow 1 renewal on DVDs and videotapes. Patrons can
check out 5 DVDs and 10 videotapes per card. |

COLOR COPIER AVAILABLE
A Ricoh color copier has been acquired by the
Library so that we can offer
patrons the opportunity to make color copies for only 50 cents a page.
The cost of black and white copies will remain at 10 cents. The new
copier will
be located in the Biography Room on the Main Level.

E-PAY
The Library has begun offering patrons the opportunity to pay their
fines, fees, memorial
donations and Friends’ donations through the State of Illinois’ E-PAY.
This service is being
offered through the State Treasurer’s Office. Master Card, American
Express and E-checks
will be accepted. Patrons using this option of payment will incur a
small fee to use the service
(charged by the credit card vendor) but will be informed about the
additional charges before
they accept the transmittals. Since patrons are responsible for
entering all of their own
information into the computer, the process will be secure. Access the
E-Pay component on
our website, www.riversidelibrary.org. If you have any questions
concerning the program,
contact Jackie Aumann at the Library.

CD AND DVD CARE
Please help the library
save its materials. DVD’s and compact discs are fragile and
easily damaged. Please handle them with care. We want to make sure
that all our patrons
can enjoy the wonderful resources we have to offer! We have special
equipment that can
repair CD's and DVD's. Please let Circulation Staff know if you have a
problem with the
material,
and they will repair it as soon as possible. Never try to repair
the discs
yourself.
This may cause damage that we will be unable to repair.
Thank You! |

IMPORTANT REQUEST:
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY DONATIONS IN OUR BOOK DROP OR IN FRONT OF
OUR LIBRARY DOORS. BLOCKING THE FRONT DOORS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF
DONATIONS ARE LEFT IN THE BOOK DROP, THERE IS LESS ROOM FOR PATRONS TO
RETURN THEIR LIBRARY MATERIALS AND OVERLOADING CAN DAMAGE MATERIALS.
THE LIBRARY IS OPEN 12 HOURS A DAY MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AND 8 HOURS
FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS, PLEASE BRING IN ANY DONATIONS DURING THESE
TIMES. THANK YOU! |

CIRCULATION AND COMPUTER
SERVICES REMINDER...
Remember that your library
card is like a credit card. You need it to pick up
material that you have requested or to check out material from any
other library.
If you have lost your card, please contact the Circulation Department
as soon as
possible to prevent its unauthorized use. |
|
|
Don’t forget that you can request a canvas bag for your convenience
when you
check out material. |
