Borrowing Policy

- Any patron of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library may borrow a bag.

- Requests for kits must be made by phone, email or in person with the Community Service office.

- The bag will be checked out on the library card of the Plainview-Old Bethpage patron picking up the bag.
 
- That patron is completely responsible for the bag and all of its contents.

- You may reserve a bag up to a year in advance.

- The loan period is six weeks.

- Only one kit can be borrowed at one time by a patron.

- Kits may be renewed for two more weeks if no other group has reserved it.

- Check contents before returning the kit.  The replacement cost of an entire kit is $150.00, plus the price of any audio material.  The replacement cost of individual parts of the kit will depend on the cost of each item.

- Please note that you may not keep a bag past its due date:  if you do, you will accrue late charges of ten cents per barcoded item, per day.

- You must return the book club set to the Circulation Desk, not through the book drop.  The entire set must be returned together (10 books, audio material if included, information folder and bag.)

Information for the Book Club Leader

Each bag contains 10 copies of the title and an information package to help you with your book discussion.  The bag also includes a sign-up sheet for the leader to keep track of who has which book and a feedback form.  We invite you to fill in that form and return it when you return the bag of books so that we can improve this service.
