REGISTRATION

A library card is required to check out materials. To obtain a library card, you must present a government issued photo ID and proof of address (such as a utility bill). If under 17, the child's application must be signed in person by the parent/guardian and the above ID provided. Notify the Library immediately if your card is lost or stolen. Replacement cards cost only $1.

RULES

All Sterling Municipal Library rules and policies apply to using the Bookmobile. The Bookmobile schedule may change without notice. Bookmobile stops are twice each month unless otherwise indicated. All items must be returned on the date due to avoid overdue charges. New Library patrons are allowed to check out 2 items the first time. Adults may check out an unlimited number after that, with the exception of a 3 DVD limit per adult. Children without a parent present may check out up to 10 items. The check out period for DVDs is 7 days. All other items are due in 21 days. DVDs must be returned to the central library within 7 days to avoid overdue charges.
