• There is no registration fee. If we change our collective mind about the fee, we will give at least two months notice.

Borrowing:

Renewing a loan:

• To renew the loan for an item that you are borrowing, email library(at)exilebooks.org. Renewals are official when the email has been replied to.
• A renewal request can also be made in person, or on the phone.
• We’ll only renew items before they are overdue, and if the item is not on “hold” for someone else.

Overdue items:

• Members with late items cannot take anything else out until the item(s) is/are returned.
• If an item is late more than one month, the member cannot borrow for one month. Two late months is two months’ suspended borrowing, and so on.
• If an item is lost the member has 3 options: to replace the item, to pay $20, or to not borrow for 2 months.
• If a member has lost 3 items within a year, s/he has 2 options: pay $20 and not borrow for 2 months, or not borrow for 6 months.
