Renewals

Materials may be renewed providing no other patron is waiting. Renewals must be made in person, by telephone or online with your library card and PIN number.
 

Holds

Some of the books you want will be in use by other readers, or on order. Please place a hold on materials not on the shelf in person, by telephone or online. We will call you when it is your turn for the item. Because we want to know what you want to read, it helps the library when books are put on hold.

Some items, magazines, CD Roms and audio circuit books and videos may not be reserved.
 

Pequannock Residents - Your Library Card

Any resident of Pequannock, business or property owner (Pequannock taxpayer), or student of a Pequannock school is entitled to a free library card. A non-resident who is employed in Pequannock is entitled, after showing proof of employment, to a library card at no charge for one year, which is renewable.

There is a small fee of $1.00 to replace a lost library card.

Children are entitled to sign up for their own library card when they are enrolled in kindergarten.

Non-Residents

Patrons whose home libraries are in Morris County can use their library cards to borrow items from the Pequannock Library.

Interlibrary Loan

We will obtain books from other libraries for you. Some books, of interest to only a few readers, may not be purchased by our library. We are able to obtain books from libraries for you. We will call you when the book you requested has arrived for you to pick up at the Pequannock Library.

When we extend the search to non-public libraries and libraries out of state, there may be a postage and handling charge incurred to obtain the item,  Most items can be sent via interlibrary loan at no charge.  A few libraries also charge for the service of loaning a book, but this is rare; in cases we ask you to cover the cost.

In cases where we request photocopies of documents for you, we may be charged for the copies and would ask you to cover the cost.
 

Please return the items you borrow on time so that others will have the chance to borrow them. A fine is charged for items not returned on time.
