Our Services: We are your library and we are here to serve you.  Our services are free to you and we welcome your ideas and suggestions.  We have over 25,000 items on every subject.  If we do not have the book you want, perhaps we can borrow it from another library at no cost through the statewide interlibrary loan program.  Be sure to check out our books on CD.  We have over 1,500 audio books for your listening pleasure.  DVD’s are also available for checkout from old classics to new blockbuster hits, you are sure to find something to watch from the over 2,000 in our collection.  Various video games for several systems will keep kids and adults entertained for hours.  No internet, no problem, we have Wi-fi jetpacks available for customers to check out with a library card in good standing.  Chromebooks are also offered for loan to anyone needing a tablet.  

Circulation:
All books and audios may be checked out for 2 weeks with no limit on the number that you may have per card.  All patrons are limited to 4 DVD’s or videogames per card and the return date is one week from the date of checkout.  If you are unable to return your items on that day, you must call the library to renew or renew them on-line at https://tenv.agverso.com/dashboard?cid=TENV&lid=WEAKLEY

Over dues:
A charge of $.10 per day will be charged per book or audiobook,  $1.00 per day for late DVD’s and $5.00 per day for Wi-fi packs and Chrome books.  Items which are destroyed or damaged will be the responsibility of the patron who borrowed them.  The patron will be charged for the cost of replacing them.  The library accepts only cash or checks for fines and payment.  No debit card services are offered.  

Computers:
The library has 8 public use computers for internet access by patrons or visitors.  All users must abide by the library’s internet usage policy.  Anyone under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian to sign an internet form in order to use the internet.  Stations are checked out on a first come first serve basis.  Computers may be used for 30 minutes per person but if no one is waiting at the end of that time then the circulation desk personnel may grant additional time.  A cost of $.20 per page is charged to print from the computers. 

For the Kids
:  The library has a special reading section stocked with books for pleasure reading or school reports.  One pre-school story hour is held each week on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 a.m.  A Summer Reading program is held each year for listeners, readers, teens and adults.
