Borrowing Policy
Any resident of South Windsor is eligible for a free borrower's card at our Library. Please bring identification showing your South Windsor address when you apply for a card. Your South Windsor library card may also be used in most public libraries through the statewide Connecticard system. Books borrowed from one public library may be returned to any other public library; they will be delivered to the owning library by the Connecticar delivery system.
Loan Periods
Most library materials, including books, magazines, cds, non-fiction videos, books on tape, & realia, may be borrowed for a three-week loan period. Feature film videos and DVDs may be borrowed for one week. Videos and DVDs on loan to us from the Phoenix Video Society may be borrowed for three days. Framed art may be borrowed for eight weeks.
Renewals
With the exception of videos, books for which others are waiting, and some interlibrary loan items, library materials may be renewed for an additional loan period either in person, on line through the Library Catalog, or by telephone at 644-1541.
Holds
If the items you need are in circulation, you may place a "hold" on the materials and we will notify you when the items are returned. Holds are placed at the circulation or reference desks, please have your library card number ready! You may also place "holds" directly on the computer, either from home or in the library. If, when checking the library computer catalog, you find an item you want but it is currently "unavailable", please click on the button marked "Place hold(s)" and then follow the directions.
