How to Borrow
- Place a hold on a device.
- Only one of each type per person.
- You can keep it for up to 3 weeks.
- Renew up to 3 times. After that, return it so we can review it. If no one else is waiting, you can borrow it again.
- Show your PVLD Library card and a photo ID with your current address. If they don't match, bring proof of your address.
- Only adults (14 or older) can borrow. Make sure you don't have any unpaid fines.
Taking Care of Borrowed Equipment
- When you borrow, you promise to pay if it's lost, stolen, damaged, or late.
- Return devices in person. Don't put them in the book drop; they might break.
- If a device is 30 days overdue, we'll consider it lost and bill you the full cost.
