Your OCPL Library Card
Your OCPL library card can be used at any public library in Onondaga County, with the
exception of the Skaneateles Library. At Maxwell Memorial Library, patrons need a valid
library card in order to check out materials, and to use the public computers for Internet
access. Library cards are offered free of charge. To obtain a card, patrons must present
identification with their name and current address. We ask that children under twelve be
accompanied by a parent or guardian to obtain a card, and they must be able to write their
first and last name. Cardholders are responsible for use of the card, unless it has been
reported lost or stolen to the library.
When patrons have a PIN attached to their card, they have the capability of accessing the
OCPL website from any location to access reference databases, view their account, place
items on reserve, and renew items they have checked out.
The Library asks that you have your library card with you when you visit, or call, the library.
Beginning October 23, 2007, we'll no longer be accessing patrons' accounts using a Dynix
number, or name.
Loan Periods, Renewals, Fines & Lost Charges
With the exception of popular film titles, all materials are checked out for three weeks.
Patrons may have up to fifty items checked out on their card, with up to ten of those items
being media, i.e. VHS tapes and DVDs.
Items may be renewed twice providing there are no reserves, or other special restrictions on
them. Renewals may be done in person, by phone, or through the OCPL website.
Renewals cannot be done by e-mailing the library.
Overdue fines of 25¢ per day per item are assessed on items which are more than one day
late. The maximum overdue fine per item is $10. For lost or severely damaged items, the
account is charged with our replacement fee. Fines schedules may vary between suburban member
libraries.
Accounts with unpaid fines and/or other charges of $50, and above, will be turned over to
the library’s collection agency, Unique Management Services, Inc. This includes unpaid fines
on returned items. A service charge of $10 will be added to the account balance.
An overdue notice is mailed to your home address when an item is two weeks late. A final
notice is mailed two weeks after that.
Borrowing privileges, including using the Public Internet access computers, are suspended
when the balance on the card reaches an amount above $1.00.
Reserves and Inter-Library Loans
Patrons may request items that are not available at the library be sent from another library in
the OCPL system be sent to Maxwell Library. Patrons can be put on a waiting list for
popular titles. When a requested item arrives, we ask that the item be picked up within three
library business days.
Items not available at any library in the county may be requested through a special Inter-
Library loan. This has to be done at the Main Desk. When these items arrive, they may be
checked out for a maximum of two weeks. They must also be returned to the library at which
they were checked out.
