New borrowing periods!

Starting March 1, 2026, our borrowing periods are changing!

No more inconsistent due dates or wondering which book from which library needs to be manually renewed.

To bring consistency across libraries, physical items* that circulate among GMILCS libraries will move to a 3-week checkout period with 1 automatic renewal. Nesmith Library will also update most of our own items to the same 3-week checkout with 1 auto-renewal, with the exception of Hot Books and interlibrary loans.

Here are the new borrowing periods, starting March 1, 2026:

• Books, DVDs, magazines, and audiobooks: 3-week checkout (21 days) with 1 auto-renewal
• Too Hot to Hold books: 7-day checkout, no renewals 

*Sorry! This does not apply to digital materials like eBooks or eAudiobooks found on Libby or CloudLibrary.
