How to Check Out a Pass
The bulletin board at the entrance to the children’s department displays all the memberships we have available. Patrons are encouraged to read the descriptions of each membership, what is included and any restrictions set by the organization (example: Science Central pass can only be checked out once per year per family).
There is a pocket for each pass on the bulletin board. Laminated cards in the pocket will let patrons know if passes are available for checkout or not. The only way to check out a pass is to borrow it when it is available. NMPL can not place holds on passes.
Patron must bring the "This pass is available for checkout" card to the Children’s Desk in order to check out a pass. The laminated card will be traded for the matching lanyard holding the physical pass.
Rules:
- Pass must be kept in lanyard and returned in lanyard.
- Pass must be returned in two weeks or less, regardless of ability to use the pass.
- Pass may not be renewed.
- Pass may not be placed on hold.
- Pass must be returned to a circulation desk - never in the bookdrop.
