Circulation and Renewals

Books and videos circulate for 2 weeks. All visual aids, models, posters and games circulate for 1 week only. As of July 1, 2009 there is a limit of 4 items per person at any given time. Additional materials will not be allowed to be checked out until all previous materials have been returned.
Renewal of items for an additional 2 weeks or 1 week (respectively) will be allowed as long as there are no other library patrons waiting to use the materials. You can renew in person, via telephone at (617) 441-0700 or email to bholden@healthier-communities.org
