Library Card information
To receive a library card free of charge, residents under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent when applying for a card as it is necessary to obtain a parental signature. When applying for a new library card, please remember to bring - photo identification with proof of residence. There is no charge if this is your first library card and you live in Coffee County. If you live in TN but not in one of the surrounding counties, there will be a charge to obtain a library card.
Please note the following: Books, audio books, book/cassettes, compact discs, magazines, and paperbacks may be checked out for a two week period upon presentation of a library card. Renewals are permitted except for those books on reserve for another patron or books borrowed from another library.
First-time library users may borrow two books on their first visit. Then up to 25 items made up of a combination of books, magazines, max. 4 videos, max 4 DVDs, max 3 compact discs, and max. eight audio books may be borrowed per card. A patron is responsible for all books checked out on his or her card even though someone else may have used the card to check out library materials. The fine for overdue books is ten cents per day. The maximum fine that may be collected is $10.00 per book. Books may be returned after hours by using the book drop. The library has an established procedure for the collection of overdue materials which will be furnished upon request. If, after notification procedures are exhausted, a patron still has not returned over due items, he or she will not be allowed to check out additional material from the library until overdue records are cleared. If a book is lost or damaged, the patron is expected to pay for the cost of its repair or replacement and a processing fee of five dollars. Any accumulated overdue fines must also be paid if a book is lost.
Lost or stolen library card may be replaced at a cost to the patron of $4.00. Some materials may only be used here in the library. These include reference books, historical materials in the genealogy collection, magazines indexed in the Reader’s guide to Periodical Literature, and microfilms.
Videos or DVDs may be checked out on a library card for a loan period of two days. There is a limit of four videos and four DVDs per card. A fine of $1.00 a day will be charged for overdue videos or DVD. The maximum fine that may be collected is $10.00 per video. The library is not responsible for damage to any VCR or DVD equipment.
