Borrowing Materials

Almost all our materials check out for two weeks. At checkout the patron receives a printout which lists each borrowed item and the due date. Reference items cannot be checked out. Patrons must present their PINES card to check out items.


Renewals

If a book, video, DVD, or CD checks out for two weeks, it can be renewed for two more weeks. Most materials may be renewed for two checkout periods. Materials may be renewed over the phone, with your library card number, by calling during library hours. If a hold has been placed on an item, it cannot be renewed.

To renew online go to our web site at:

http://gapines.org/

Click on enter. Enter your library card number (14 digit #). then enter your pin #. Click on renew materials. If you have already renewed twice or if there is a hold on the item, you will not be allowed to renew.

Fines and Fees

The overdue fine for materials is $.20 per day per item. The library gives a one day grace period for overdue materials.

If a book is lost, replacement fees are assessed. Replacement costs include the price of the book, a $10.00 processing fee, and any accrued fines.


Holds

PINES patrons may place holds on most books and audiovisual materials owned by any PINES library, as well as on certain additional types of materials within their own local library system. Items which are placed on hold will be delivered via courier from the owning library to the patron's desired pickup library. When the hold is available for pickup, the patron will be notified via the preferred contact method on file.

Computer & Internet Services

The Fayette County Public Library's Internet access service is affiliated with the Flint River Regional Library System. In attempting to offer the citizens of Fayette county the most flexible and useful access to information we are pleased to be able to offer free internet access.

In doing so, we would like to remind users that not all sources on the Internet provide information which is accurate, complete, current, or appropriate. Users should evaluate Internet sources just as they do printed publications.

Look critically at the validity and accuracy of the information retrieved from Internet sites. Furthermore, while the Internet offers global information access, some information is still found more quickly and efficiently in print sources in the library.

The following policies apply for internet access provided by the library:

Patrons are allotted 120 minutes (2 hours) of computer sessions per day. 30 minute guest passes (once a day) are offered to non-library card holders.

Each of the library’s public computers have Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Publisher installed, as well as Edge, Chrome, and Firefox browsers.
