How do I borrow, renew or return an item?

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. 

For more information, visit the Cumberland County Library System’s Borrow, Renew, Return page.
