Check out and Borrowing Limits

Library Home * Circulation Home

Berwyn Public Library patrons (residents and non-residents*) must have a valid library card with them at the time of checkout and renewal. 

If a patron does not have his/her card with them, print materials will be held for 3 days, and non-print materials will be held until the close of the working day.

• Must present a valid library card at the time of checkout
• Must not have fines exceeding $5.00

Material restrictions include:

• Four (4) per subject area in non-fiction
• Six (6) videos/DVDs per library card (two cards per family)

Reserve restrictions include:

• Forty (40) items in the hold queue at one time

Checking out reserve items:

• Items that are on reserve for a patron must be checked out on the card with which the hold was placed
• Said card must be presented at the time the item is picked up, regardless of who is picking up the item.

(* Reciprocal borrowers are restricted to the same conditions unless their home libraries impose more stringent restrictions.  Then, the home library limits are enforced, and materials will not be checked out.)
