Circulation Policies

 

Patrons are required to have their library cards or a picture ID when checking out books.

​

Each library in the OSL library system has their own circulation rules.  In general the George Hail Library allows patrons to borrow books for three weeks and DVDs, magazines and special items for one week.  If the item you borrowed has not been requested by another patron, the item will be automatically renewed up to two more times.   

 

Please visit your account on Aspen, our online catalog,  to order items and review your account.  To sign into your account, you will need your library card number and your four digit pin number, which is usually the last four of your phone number or the last four of your card number.

 

​To find out how to upload free eBooks and audiobooks through your library, please visit the eZone website.

Museum passes are also available at all libraries in the system including the George Hail Library.  Please visit our webpage to find out more.  

 

Library Cards

Sign up for a library card at either the circulation desk on the main floor or in the Youth Service's Room.   Library card rules and regulations as well as a downloadable form are available online. 

Lost cards may be replaced for $1.00.
