Library Hours

Holidays

The library will be closed for the following holidays.

Library Card

    Families may apply for a library card to check out materials from the Bucklin Public Library.  All members of the family who are entitled to check out material will be listed on the card.  Each borrower is held responsible for all items he or she borrows and the fees that may accrue thereon.  However, the adult listed on the card will ultimately be responsible for the materials of minors listed on said card.  Each Family Card is limited to a loan of 10 items total.  The library card remains at Bucklin Public Library.

Loan Periods

Materials are loaned for the following periods of time.

All materials may be renewed for one renewal cycle upon request.

    Children's Programs participants may check out 2 books/magazines each week, which are to be returned the following week.  These may accumulate up to a total of 4 books, at which time no new check outs will be allowed until said books are returned.  This applies only to books checked out during Children's Programs.

Overdue/Delinquent Material Policy

    Patrons with overdue items or outstanding fees may not check out additional materials. The item is stamped upon check out and it is the user’s responsibility to return materials on or before that date. Materials are considered delinquent after 1 renewal cycle. All library privileges will be suspended until materials are returned or replacement cost paid. There will be written notification sent, and after a 30 day period, patron will be in violation of the Library Materials Protection Act, K.S.A. 21-3702 and K.S.A. 12-1228.

Replacement

    Users are legally responsible (K.S.A. 21-3702) for materials checked out to them including paying for materials that are lost or damaged.

Waiting Lists

    Users may request to be put on the waiting list for any circulating materials.  Requests may be made in person or by telephone.  Materials should be picked up promptly after notification.

Interlibrary Loan

   Patrons may request materials not available in the Bucklin Public Library through Interlibrary Loan. Materials must be returned within the time the lending library designates. The borrower agrees to pay the lending library for any loss or damage that occurs to the borrowed material. As a means of promoting the “free library image”, there is no charge for Interlibrary Loan, but donations to defray postage costs will be accepted with appreciation.

Video Policy

    The majority of Videos and CDs owned by the Bucklin Public Library are protected by copyright for HOME USE ONLY. Patrons checking out videos agree to abide by copyright laws. Children under 10 must have their parent/guardian’s permission to check out videos. Videos should be rewound. Users are asked to NOT leave videos, audios or CDs in automobile where they are exposed to extreme heat or cold that could cause damage.
