1. Library checkouts may be renewed for a maximum of 2 additional eight week periods. Items may be checked out in this manner for a total of 24 weeks. Renewals may be granted by contacting the Library staff by phone at (719) 482-9859, by email library@money.org, or in person.

 

2. Renewals can only be made for items not on hold for another member.

4. All library returns should be postmarked by the due date.

 

5. Library returns that are received uninsured by the carrier or not insured as indicated on the postal insurance form provided by the Library will result in a warning being issued. A second failure to insure items will result in a loss of borrowing privileges for one year from original due date. Replacement charges for items damaged or lost in shipment that are not insured by the borrower will be the responsibility of the borrower. The borrower will lose borrowing privileges until the charges are paid.
