Your Library Card
Your library card may be used at any public library in Jefferson County. Please take care of your library card-treat it like a credit card. You are responsible for any materials borrowed on your card, whether by you or by someone else. If you lose your card or change your name, address, or phone number, please notify your library immediately. There is a $3.00 charge for a replacement card.

Borrowing/Renewing
Books are checked out for a three-week period. Audio books (cassettes and CDs) and circulating magazines are also checked out for three weeks. Video tapes and DVDs are currently checked out for 7 days. Many items may be renewed once over the phone (or online) and once in person. The exceptions are popular items and others that are on hold. To renew items, you may call the renewal number, (205) 226-3690 or your local library. You may also renew your books online at www.jclc.org. You must have your library card number to renew any items. Call your local library if you have additional questions.

Returning
