JIGSAW PUZZLES OBTAINING A LIBRARY CARD

Although the library is solely supported by the City of Temple, as a courtesy, anyone residing within Texas can obtain a free library card by providing a picture I.D. Parents must apply for children under 16. There is a $2 charge to replace a lost library card.

You may start the process of obtaining a library card by filling out the online application, found on the library website under OBR.

NEW USERS

When a patron gets his/her first card from the Temple Public Library he/she will be considered a New Patron for the first week. New Patrons are limited to four items and may not check out DVDs. After a week, if all items have been returned, a New Patron will be changed to a Regular Patron type and will have full library privileges. New Patrons are not able to renew checked out items until they have been changed to a Regular Patron type.

After 7 days, New Patrons must contact the Circulation Desk in person or by phone to request change of their patron type from New Patron to Regular Patron. Once that change is made by library staff, these patrons may renew items that were checked out during their New Patron week and begin enjoying full library privileges.

OUTREACH PROGRAM

The Bookmobile visits nursing homes, assisted living centers, fixed income housing, Headstart Centers, and participates in school career days and other community-centered activities.

For more information, please call 254-298-5295.

WIRELESS ACCESS

Patrons may use the wireless access anywhere in the library with their own laptops and other devices. This is an unsecured network, so proper security precautions should be observed.

HOLDS

The staff at the check-out desk can do this for you, or you can do it yourself through the library’s online catalog either in the library, or from home. Your login is your barcode number, your PIN is the last four digits of your barcode number.

DVDs: DVDs circulate for 14 days. They may be renewed one time for an additional 2 days.

New Books: Some popular new adult books are checked out for two weeks in order to keep them circulating faster. All new books may be renewed once if there are no holds on them. Selected magazines may be checked out for 2 weeks.

Fines for most items are 10 cents per day. Overdue test books and DVDs will be fined at the rate of 50 cents per day, and overdue interlibrary loans will be fined at $1.00 per day. Fines will be stopped at the price of the item in most cases. The maximum fine for DVDs is $10.00.

GRACE PERIOD
