Borrowers must complete a Borrower Registration Form and show a valid photo identification card. By registering in the Lending Program, the borrower agrees to comply with all library rules and regulations and to be accountable for any loss or damage to materials. A borrower assumes full responsibility for items borrowed under her/his name and commits to return them on time. Items may be borrowed and returned anytime the library is open.

HIGH-DEMAND ITEMS
To borrow items labeled "high-demand" borrowers must leave a check made out to the Foundation Center that covers the cost of the item (plus tax). The Foundation Center will return the check to the borrower when the item is returned. Once an item is 30 days overdue it will be considered lost, the borrower will be denied future borrowing privileges and the check will be deposited to cover the cost of the borrowed item(s).

OVERDUE BOOKS
Foundation Center staff will notify borrowers by phone or email when items are overdue. Borrowers who fail to return materials will be denied future borrowing privileges.

LOST AND/OR DAMAGED MATERIALS
If an item is lost, damaged, or not returned, the library will submit a bill to the borrower for full replacement cost. Borrowers who lose or damage materials may be denied future borrowing privileges.
