Renewing books
Remember, there is no charge to borrow books. You can borrow up
to twelve at any given time and you can borrow them for three
weeks. If you need to have the books longer then phone us, with
your library card to hand, and we will renew the books for a
further three weeks, or you can
renew them online, so long as no one else is waiting for the
books.
Please note that any books returned after the three week
loan period which have not been renewed will incur
fines.
If you would like to contact us please call 01738 444949 or send an
e-mail to library@pkc.gov.uk
Library Catalogue
On the other hand you could also use our online
catalogue. Each library has computers for public use that can
be used to search for the book or multimedia item that you are
after.
You don't even need to come into the library to search for a book,
you can search the library catalogue from your home computer. If
you want to go further and be able to renew, reserve or request an
item, all you need is your library card and a PIN number which any
member of staff can give to you the next time you are in the
library or email library@pkc.gov.uk.
For security reasons PIN numbers are not given out over the
telephone.
