How do I check out materials from the library?

To check out materials from the library, follow these steps:

1. Obtain a library card: First, you’ll need a library card. Visit your local branch and fill out a library card application. You will be asked for proof of residency and a valid photo ID. Once your application is approved, you’ll receive your library card.

2. Find materials: Browse the library shelves or search the library’s online catalog to find the materials you want to check out. You can search by title, author, or subject and check the availability at your branch.

3. Take materials to the circulation desk: Bring your selected materials and your library card to the circulation desk. A library staff member will assist you in checking out the items.

4. Keep track of due dates: You’ll receive a receipt or an email notification with the due dates for the materials you’ve borrowed. Be sure to return or renew items by their due dates to avoid late fees.
