Overdues & Snow

If your library items are due and it's snowing or the roads are bad, give us a call. We will renew them or make arrangements so you are not charged a fine. Can't get through on the phone? When you bring your overdue items back just mention to a staff member that they are late because of bad weather. You must tell the staff, or the fine will go on automatically.
We don't want you to put yourself in danger just to get your library items back on time.

On a happier note: If you are stuck in the house by bad weather you can access library databases and the library catalog on the internet. The libary homepage is http://www.ewml.org/
