If our telephone notification system does not reach you on the first day, a notice will be printed by the library and sent via U.S. mail. Also, the library sends some billing notices for long overdue items by U.S. mail. Email customers will be emailed their billing notices.
If a title is not owned by our libraries, you can request to borrow the item from another library within Pennsylvania. To do this, complete the Inter-Library Loan Requests form. Select the form for the type of item you’d like to borrow. We have separate forms for:
Most items are available for 14 days with 3 renewals. DVDs, Playaways, and Video Games are available for 7 days with 3 renewals. Hotspots have 14- and 30-day loans. Due date receipts and account tools can help you track your due dates.
For more information, visit our Borrow Items page.
If you have a library card, items may be borrowed for free. However, if you keep something past the item's due date, then you will be charged a late fee each day the item is overdue. If you forget your card, you must provide identification (such as a driver's license).
You can renew your items online, using the Library2Go app, through our Shoutbomb text messaging service, through our automated Telephone Circulation system, or in person at the library.
You can return items to any Cumberland County public library. Each library has an after hours return bin for books and most audio visual items.
