Most print items can be renewed five times in person or by phone.  
Older DVDs and VHS tapes may be renewed twice.   
If the item is on hold for another patron, the item cannot be renewed.

Items that are not renewable:  Browsing Collection, New Videos, New DVDs, Equipment, 
Chilton’s Manuals, Out-of-County Inter-Library Loans, or Framed Art.

Limits on borrowing: A patron cannot check out any materials if their fines total $15.00 or more, 
or if a patron has 10 or more items out that are overdue.

Items borrowed from another CLEVNET library are subject 
to that library's loan period and fines.

Video Cassette Borrowing Policy:

Videos can be returned here or at any CLEVNET Library.  Videos may be returned in the bookdrops.

• There is no limit to the number of videos a patron may take out.
• Videos can be renewed if there are no holds on them and if they are not a "New" video. They can be renewed by phone, in person, or through our website.
• The loan period for all videos is one week. If returned late, there is an overdue charge of $.10 per video per day and $1.00 per video per day for "New" videos.
• The patron is responsible for returning the cassettes in good condition.  In the case of loss, theft, or damage, the patron will be charged the full replacement cost of the cassette plus a processing fee.

• Copyright laws limit these videos to home viewing only and prohibit their duplication.
• Keep videos in a cool, dry place and avoid storage in direct sunlight or near sources of heat.

Holds Policy

To preserve our patrons' confidentiality, the Burton Public Library has instated a new Holds Policy.  Holds may be picked up by friends or family only if they have the card of the person placing the hold.  A parent or legal guardian may pick up their minor child's holds items using either the parent's or child's library card.

Unattended Child Policy

The Burton Public Library now has an Unattended Child Policy. Unlike school librarians, public librarians do not act "in loco parentis" - Latin for "in place of the parent". Our policy states that librarians cannot accept responsibility for the safety and security of unattended minors. Please consider your children's safety if you allow them to visit the Burton Public Library without parental supervision.
