Checking out materials

You must show your membership card when checking out materials. You can have up to 100 items checked out at one time.

Loan Periods

• Books, audiobooks, magazines* - 3 weeks
• DVD's- 1 week
• Videos - 3 weeks

* Current issues of magazines may not be borrowed

Renewals

• Materials can be renewed a maximum of two times. If an item has been placed on hold by another customer you will not be able to renew the item.
• Renew in-person or by phone during regular Library hours; or online at any time with your TRAC/TAL card at www.tracpac.ab.ca

Holds

If an item is checked out, available at another TRAC library, or on order, you may reserve it by placing a hold on the item. You may place up to 25 holds at one time. Books are held for 10 days once received at APL and then sent back if not picked up. Please remember to suspend holds before going on vacation - you will not lose your place in the queue.

Returning Materials

To know when your materials are due, please retain your due date receipt or check the My Account feature in the online catalogue. Materials may be returned via the book drop or in the Library during regular library hours.

Overdue Materials

We encourage you to return materials on time to make them available for others to borrow. If items are returned late, fines will be assessed as follows:

• $0.10 per day for all adult material to a maximum of $10.00 per item.
• $0.10 per day for all easy, junior, and young adult material to a maximum of $5.00 per item.
• For items borrowed through TRAC from another Library, overdue fines will be charged at the lending library's rate.
• Borrowing privileges will be suspended if fines or other penalties are greater than $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for children and youth.
