Interlibrary Loans and Reserving Items

Both Johnsburg library card holders and patrons with cards from other libraries may reserve all items owned by the library--except entertainment movies. An online form can be filled out to hold an item. To do this, click on the 'Search Catalogs' link on the purple bar to the left. Then click on the tutorial for placing an item on hold. Johnsburg card holders may also request items from other libraries using the 'Interlibrary Loans' link also found on the purple bar to the left. Patrons from other library must request Interlibrary Loan items from their home library (the library that issued your card).

Overdue Fines

• Videos and DVDs: $1.50 per day, to a maximum of $10.00 per movie
• All Other Items: 20 cents per day, to a maximum of $5.00 per item

Collection Agency

Patrons with items five weeks or more overdue and existing fines having a total combined value of $25 or more are turned over to the library's collection agency. A $10 collection agency fee will be assessed on the patrons library card.
