Card, a photo ID, and a form of identification that

when items checked out to a borrower become seven or
more days overdue the Library will attempt to notify
them by phone. Borrowers within our local calling area
receive three phone notices from an automated calling
system. All borrower privileges are suspended when materials
are overdue more than 28 days. The patron's home library
will be notified of all materials overdue longer than
28 days. Materials overdue after 45 days will be referred
to the home library for collection.
RECALLS: We do not recall items.

available for checkout: All Reference materials (print and
non-print), Genealogy Reference materials, Government Documents,

kits, and sound recordings have a daily overdue charge
per item of $0.25. CD-ROMs, DVDs, E-Book readers, regular
Read It Again! kits, and videocassettes have a daily
overdue charge per item of $3.00.
LOST ITEMS:
The charge for lost or damaged materials is the
actual price paid by the Library for the particular item plus
a processing fee. Lost or damaged items remain the property
of the Library.
BILLING: Payments may be made at the Circulation Desk at
any Arlington Public Library or by mail. Please include the
Arlington Public Library card number, the TexShare card number,
and the title of item if paying by mail. The TexShare cardholder
agrees to pay any charges incurred as a result of a late return,
damage, or loss of materials. Failure to comply will result
in the loss of TexShare privileges. Notification will be sent
to the home library.
