Registration

Anyone may register for a library card by presenting identification showing his/her current address and completing a registration form. Library patron cards are updated every 2 years and can be used at Augusta County Library and Staunton Public Library.

Loan Periods

Library materials are checked out for a period of 3 weeks with 1 renewal (which can be made by phone) except for VIDEOs and DVDs, which are checked out for 1 week with 1 renewal. Books on reserve cannot be renewed. There will be a 1 week grace period for books and 2 days for videos and games.

Fines

A fine of 10 cents daily for books, videos, and DVDs will be charged on overdue items with a maximum fine of $2.00 for any one item. A $6.00 fine blocks the card from further use. There are NO fines for Senior Citizens. There are drop boxes for books and videos outside the library for use when the library is closed.

Reserve Policy

Items currently in circulation (including videos) may be placed on reserve for registered patrons. Patrons will be telephoned when the item is available and must retrieve the item within 1 week from the initial call or be removed from the reserved list.
