Using the Library

Check Out Information

Items are checked out for two weeks and can be renewed twice. A maximum of four items can be checked out by each patron. Items can be renewed by phone (918-358-2676) or renew online.

Fines

Fines are 5 cents per day per item, excluding Sundays and holidays, with a maximum fine of $1.00 per item.
We charge for the cost of replacing the item if it is lost.

• Anytime you have unreturned overdue items, you will not be allowed to check out materials or use the computers until the overdue items are returned or replacement value is paid.
• If the overdue item is found and returned at a later date, after payment has been made, the library will reimburse the patron, providing the item is in good condition upon return.
