Computer & Electronic Device Use Policy 

BORROWING AND RETURNS

Most materials may be checked out for three weeks, although some types of materials have different loan periods.  While there is no charge to check out library materials, overdue fines are applied when items are not brought back by their due date.  Items can be renewed in person, by phone, or by logging into your account via the Internet (you must have your library card number and PIN to do this).  If an item you have checked out is on hold for another person, you may not renew that item (this rule applies to any book borrowed through the Mississippi Library Partnership as well).  You may use any library’s book drop for your after-open-hours convenience.  You may return any item to any FRL branch location.
