Frequently Asked Questions
There is no limit to the number of items you can check out at one time. We will advise you, however, that late fees are 50 cents a day for DVDs and video games, and 10 cents for all other items, so fines can add up quickly if you take out a large quantity.
Any resident of the State of Ohio over the age of 18, can obtain a library card at our Circulation Desk with an ID with a current address. Anyone under the age of 18 can obtain a card as long as their parent/guardian has a card in good standing and is present to sign for the minor’s card.

The library has a photocopier that makes black and white copies for 10 cents per page. Patrons are also allotted 50 free pages per day when they print from one of our computers. Any printing beyond the 50 pages is at a cost of 10 cents per page. Additionally, we recently extended 50 free pages of computer printing to mobile devices such as laptops and smartphones. With our mobile printing app, you can even securely send a print job from home and collect it at the Library.
We will let you know as soon as the item comes back to the library (via e-mail, text, or phone). If you place a hold on something that is “available” in the catalog, it won’t be ready to be picked up until the next day or later. If you’d like an item that’s “available” sooner, we recommend calling our Reference Department at 330.335.1294 or Children’s Department at 330.335.1295.
