  We’re excited to provide this new service to better serve our community.

• Did you know your library card expires every three years?
  We’re committed to keeping your access to library services seamless, but we need your help. If your card is expired—or about to be—it’s time for a quick update. Just stop by the library and speak with a staff member to renew your card and make sure your contact information is current.

  Keeping your library card active is more than just checking out books. It gives you access to valuable resources like digital collections, research tools, and educational programs. Even more importantly, every active card helps demonstrate community support for the library. When you use your card, you’re helping to show that public library services matter—and that they’re worth investing in.

  Thank you for being a library supporter. Keep your card current and keep making a difference.

• We’re making some changes to our circulation policies and copy/printer fees to better serve you. Here’s what you need to know:

  Circulation Policies Update:

  In response to feedback from our valued patrons and to better manage our library resources, we’ve revised our circulation policies. Previously, materials were automatically renewed up to two times beyond the initial checkout term. However, we’ve adjusted this policy to provide one courtesy renewal, provided there are no existing holds on the item. This change is intended to ensure fair access to materials and reduce instances of overdue items. Should you require additional time with your borrowed items, please don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance with renewals.

  Copy/Printer Fees Update:

  We have updated our copy and printer fees. Black and white prints cost 10 cents per side and color prints are available for $1 per side. This adjustment is necessary to cover our printer contract costs while maintaining affordability for our patrons.

  We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we implement these updates. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our staff.

• Wireless access is offered 24/7 from the library parking lots. No password is required at Custer. The Hermosa password is Welcome123.
