Application for a Library Card
Borrowing privileges are free to anyone upon completion of the
application for a library card from the Dvoracek Memorial Library.
Cards will be mailed to the patrons after processing.
- Anyone under the age of 16 who is applying for a library
card must have a parent’s signature on the application. A parent
will need to provide a form of identification and return with
the issued library card as proof of residency.
- Check out of materials may be done without presenting a
library card if staff is able to verify the patron’s identity
and their name is in the library’s patron database.
- New library card applications will have a limit of three (3)
items per family member until the permanent library card is
presented. On following visits there is no limit, however the
member is responsible for all materials borrowed.
- The library patron is asked to inform the library of any
change of address and/or phone information and to please notify
the library if they are moving from the area.
- Signature on the application indicates that the patron
agrees to abide by the policies and rules of conduct of the
Dvoracek Memorial Library.
How to login to your account
To access your library account, you must access the
library catalog. Located in the upper right-hand corner is
the account login. In the first box you will need to put your
card number without any letters, just the numbers. In the second
box you will need to put the phone number you have associated
with your account, no dashes. If you don’t remember either of
these, contact the library for that information. By logging in
you can see your account information, what items you have out,
you can renew items, and look at your check out history.
Our check-out policy
Loans and Reserves:
- Length of loans on materials are two weeks.
- Each card may have up to 15 items checked out at a time.
Exceptions can be made by library staff as needed.
- Reserves may be placed on all circulating items. The patron
placing the hold will be notified by text or phone call when item is
available. Items will be held for one week after notification.
- Return of library materials to the Dvoracek Memorial Library can
be done during regular library hours. A drive-up drop box and a drop
slot by the front door are available for afterhours returns.
- Renewal of library materials may be done by logging into your
account, in person, by phone or email. Exceptions to this would be
if the item is on hold for another person or the item is an
inter-library loan by another lending library. Items still checked
out on their due date will be automatically renewed twice, if
allowed.
- Book Club packets are available upon request from the Nebraska
Library system for local use up to one month.
Overdue and Lost Items:
- Patrons with items overdue for six weeks or more may be
restricted from checking out additional library materials.
- Replacement of lost and/or damaged items is the responsibility of
the patron who last had the item checked out. Patrons may either
replace the lost and/or damaged items with the same title in the
same format or pay for the replacement of the items.
- Failure to
return library materials is theft of city property.
Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary loan is available for books not available in the
Dvoracek Memorial Library collection. There is a $3.50 fee that
must be paid before interlibrary loan item can be checked out.
It is up to the lending library as to how long the book may be
kept out on loan.
