All Cleveland Library materials will check out for two weeks beginning May 2, 2011.

This includes everything: all print material (including new books), audio books, movies, music CDs, and games.

Why the change?

• Feedback from customers indicates that 7 days are frequently not long enough to read a new book
• Two weeks will allow most of the collection to be available to another customer sooner, making better use of resources
• A consistent loan period eliminates the need for additional processing of books, DVDs, and CDs in order to indicate due date, allowing those resources to be put into additional titles
• All two weeks, all the time—it’s easy to remember!
• Please talk to any staff member if you need assistance renewing your materials.

Check It Out – Due Dates Will be on Your Due Date Slip - Get it at Check Out

On May 2, 2011, all Wake Libraries and Cleveland Library switched to a policy that all materials will be due two weeks from the date of checkout, with renewals available if no one is waiting. Mark your due date slip when you check out!

Library materials will not have a label for stamping a due date beginning in May, allowing those resources to go into additional materials.
