The Library stewards a collection that includes over 63,000 items, the vast majority of which are available for circulation. This includes a permanent collection of over 1,500 DVD’s, all available free of charge, as well as an extensive collection of large print books and audio books for those who have difficulty reading conventional print. In addition, the Library has an Telesensory Vertex video magnifier available for people with vision impairments.
If an item in the permanent collection is not on the shelf, you may fill out a reserve slip at the circulation desk and we will call you when the item becomes available. There is a 15 cent fee for this service.
If the Library does not have a particular book or other item you want, you can request that we borrow it from another library. This service may take as few as one or two days or as long as several weeks depending upon the location of the lending library. The fee for this service is generally 50 cents for a book and $1.50 for a DVD. You must be a member of the library for 30 days before using this service.
Books and CD’s may be borrowed for 21 days and renewed once, either at the Library or by calling 856-858-0649, unless an item is on hold for another patron. DVDs circulate for one week and may be renewed once.
Adults may borrow a total of 15 items, of which no more than three may be videos, DVDs, audios, or CDs. Children may borrow up to five items. For both adults and children, there is a limit of three books per subject or author. Depending on school assignments, we occasionally need to place circulation limits on certain types of items in the Young People’s Department.
