Only adult West Deptford Free Public Library cardholders in good standing (no fines or overdue items on the account) may check out one pass at a time. Patrons must use their own library card when checking out a pass. The library staff reserves the right to limit the number of times that cardholders may borrow passes due to demand and availability. Passes can be checked out for four days at a time and may not be renewed. The late fee will be $5 per day, up to $50. On the eleventh day past the due date, the cardholder will be billed a $25.00 service fee plus any overdue fees and the replacement cost of the museum pass. Passes may not be placed on hold or held for patrons. Passes are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Passes must be returned to staff at the circulation desk of the West Deptford Free Public Library and may not be placed in the book return. Any passes placed in the book return will be charged a $5 fee to the patron’s account. Passes returned to any library other than the West Deptford Free Public Library will be considered late and a $5 fee will be charged to the patron’s account. The pass must be returned in the case that was supplied when the pass was checked out along with the information inside the case about the location. Cardholders will be charged the full cost of the pass if the pass is lost, damaged, or destroyed. Cardholders must sign an agreement before checking out a pass. Cardholders who lose, damage, or destroy a pass, or violate the terms of agreement in any other manner, may be barred from borrowing passes in the future.
