Deposit Books

The Library requires a cash deposit to check out certain books.  Typically these books are study guides for academic and occupational examinations, e.g., GED, SAT, or ASVAB preparation.  Also many automobile repair manuals require cash deposits in order to be checked out from the library.  The amount of the deposit varies and generally reflects the replacement value of the specific book. 

Patrons who place cash deposits on books will receive a receipt for the deposit, and the deposit is returned when the book is returned to the library.  Unfortunately the library cannot accept personal checks for deposits. 

If a deposit book is not returned after 90 days from the due date, the book is placed in "lost" status, and the amount of the deposit is applied to the replacement cost of the book.
