Loan Policy

Books and audiobooks are loaned for a 3-week period; magazines and pamphlets for 1 week, and DVDs for 2 days. Only the next-to-last issue of a magazine may be borrowed and only 2 magazines at a time. You may borrow 5 items at one time although only 3 videos per adult card are allowed.

The Library Board is testing out a Fine Free policy from November 1, 2024 through November 30, 2025.

• Patrons will still be responsible for paying to replace any lost or damaged materials. 
• Patrons will also be charged a $3 processing fee for any books returned more than 60 days past the last due date.

You are legally obligated under Pennsylvania law to return all items borrowed. Materials can be renewed by phone or online except for items that are on reserve. Please call the Library at (814) 486-8011.

Any person kindergarten & up who lives in Cameron County may obtain a library card free of charge. Adults must present some form of identification showing their name and local address. A current Pennsylvania driver’s license or similar form of identification is acceptable.

Children, kindergarten & up may have their own library card. A parent or guardian needs to accompany the child (kindergarten through age 15) on his or her first visit to the library and sign the registration card for the child, thus assuming responsibility.

If the parent or guardian does not have a current library card of their own, they must show proof of Cameron County residency before the child can be issued a card. Any 16 year old resident of Cameron County is eligible for his or her own card. By signing our registration card, they assume responsibility for any materials borrowed.

Persons who are not residents of Cameron County and have no home-based library can obtain a library card by paying a yearly non-resident’s fee of $25.00.
