It is the responsibility of library users to present their library card each time they wish to check out materials.\u00a0 Materials cannot be checked out without a library card.\u00a0 Library users are responsible for all materials checked out on their card or on the cards of children for whom they have assumed responsibility.\u00a0 If library users allow others to check out library materials on their card, those materials are still the responsibility of the card owner.\u00a0 The library will assume that anyone in possession of another person\u2019s library card is authorized by the card owner to check out materials.<\/span><\/p>\n Lost cards should be reported immediately.\u00a0 Library users are responsible for all materials checked out on their card up to the time that they report the card as lost.\u00a0Library users who have lost their card may apply for new ones by showing valid identification and paying a nonrefundable $3.00 replacement charge. \u00a0If they later find their card, it must be destroyed or returned to the library for disposal.\u00a0 Refunds will not be made on library cards.<\/span><\/p>\n Any person who shows proof of residence within Rankin, Scott, Simpson, or Smith counties may be issued a library card at no charge.\u00a0 If someone does not have proof of residence, the library card can be mailed to their home address.\u00a0 The card will be valid when the patron signs the card.\u00a0 A reciprocal borrower\u2019s agreement exists between the Lincoln, Lawrence, and Franklin Public Library System and CMRLS.\u00a0 If a patron from that system comes to a branch in CMRLS, register that patron as if they are a county resident.\u00a0 Patrons of Lincoln, Lawrence, and Franklin Public Library System will have to show their library card with that system.<\/span><\/p>\n Any student that attends school in Lake or Sebastopol and they live outside of Scott County can receive a library card.\u00a0 These students would need to show proof that they attend school in Lake or Sebastopol.<\/span><\/p>\n A temporary library card may be issued to library users who are temporary residents of Rankin, Scott, Simpson, or Smith counties.\u00a0 Users must show proof of residency.<\/p>\n Persons attending school, employed, or owning property in the counties served by CMRLS may obtain a non-resident library card at no charge with the following identification.<\/span><\/p>\n Applicants\u00a0<\/strong>who do not meet any of the above requirements may obtain a non-resident library card by paying a $25.00 annual user reimbursement.\u00a0 The reimbursement will expire one (1) year from the date of application.\u00a0 Non-resident cards must be renewed each year.\u00a0All members of a non-resident family, including minor children, will be entitled to individual library cards if all members of the family reside at the same physical address.\u00a0 If the custodial caregiver is a guardian, the guardian\u2019s name must be entered in the guardian field.\u00a0 The non-resident family will be required to pay the $25.00 annual user reimbursement.\u00a0 The family non-resident cards must be renewed annually.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minor children, under 18 years of age, of a parent\/guardian who pays the annual user reimbursement will be entitled to a library card in their own name at no charge.\u00a0 The parent\/guardian will be required to sign the library card application for each minor child signifying that they are responsible for the library materials and any fines incurred.<\/span><\/p>\n
