How much does an account cost?
Free for Georgia residents and Homecard patrons!
For non-residents, $10 annually.
Do I need to bring anything to sign up for a Library Card?
Please bring 2 forms of ID , such as a driver’s license or student ID and a piece of mail.
My books are overdue! Do you charge?
We only require payment if books are damaged or lost. No overdue fees.
When are the items I borrowed due?
Books are due 3 weeks from check-out.
Audio books on CD or Playaway, DVDs, magazines, games, puzzles, and new items are due 2 weeks from check out.
Other items have different circulation periods, so it’s best to ask. (We’ll explain them at check-out, too!)
May I return items from other libraries to you?
Unless the item is an Inter-Library Loan you requested through us, alas, no. (Our postage costs would be astronomical otherwise.)
Do you have Wi-Fi?
Yes, and it’s free!
Ask for the password at the desk.
(We don’t typically give our Wi-Fi password to youths under 16.)
May I renew the items I have out?
Yes, unless it’s new and in-demand, or is being held for another patron.
BTW, what are the "items" you keep mentioning?
“Library items” and “library materials” refers to everything we offer: books, DVDs, games, puzzles, audio books on CD and Playaway, magazines, snowshoes, and more!
May I volunteer? How?
Yes, yes, yes, you may volunteer with us!
We welcome you with open arms and wishes for wonderful karma!
May I make a donation to the Library?
Yes! See “Donations” on our Policies page.
What's your favorite book?
Of all time? This is an unfair question.
At this moment? Ask us the next time you’re in the Library–we love to give recommendations!
Is there such a thing as too many books?
Nope! (If there is, we haven’t found it yet!)
Occasionally, we remove items haven’t been borrowed in a long time to conserve space. The removed items often end up on our Free Books Shelf.
May I print or make copies in the Library?
Yes, you may. Printing and copying costs 15¢ per side for black and white and 25¢ per side for color.
Are you just making up questions now?
Nope! Patrons ask these questions all the time (well, except this one)!
Plus, you read this far down our FAQ section, so some humor’s inevitable.
What if I want to bring a water bottle and a snack?
We discourage people from eating in the Library, since books (and other items) don’t socialize well with water and food debris.
If you must eat or drink, please step outside.
How is the Library funded?
The majority of the Library’s budget comes from Georgia residents’ taxes.
Grants and donations also help us meet our patrons’ needs.
Are you volunteers?
The Library’s staff is paid from its yearly budget.
The Board of Trustees are volunteers.
At many points in its history, volunteers did run the Library.
Who decides what items are added to the collection?
Our staff add items to our collection based on popularity, reviews, requests, and suggestions.
May I use my library card at other libraries?
Yes, you may, if those libraries are members of Homecard.
What do I do if I don't have my library card?
Not a problem! We can look up your account (though having your card ensures it goes smoothly).
If you need your card replaced, stop by the Library and we’ll make you a new one.
May I return library materials if you're not open?
Yes, you may, in our drop box.
Do you accept Book Donations?
We ask donated books are in excellent condition, published within the past two years, and aren't titles we already have in our collection.
If you have specific questions, please feel free to contact us.
Please bring donations in when we’re open, rather than placing them in the drop box or leaving them outside.
