Find answers to common questions we hear at the Richfield Public Library.
Patrons can place a hold or reserve a book in the Richfield collection which is currently checked out.
To do so, come to the library, or call 896-5169, or log on to the account online (Your Patron ID is the number on the back of your library card beneath the bar code. Type in the whole number without any spaces.)
Richfield Library will call the patron when the material becomes available, and we will hold the book for 3 weeks.
The library encourages children and parents to recommend books that should be considered for purchase! Patrons are welcome to come in and fill out a Book Request Form and turn it in to the front desk.
When browsing the online catalog, any book that is listed in Salina or Gunnison libraries can be put on hold.? The book will be available for checkout in Richfield on the next Monday or whenever the book becomes available.
If a desired book is not owned by Richfield, Salina, or Gunnison library, a patron may request the book through inter-library loan.? The book will be sent to Richfield from another library.? It normally takes at least 3-6 weeks to receive materials.? The patron will be called when it arrives, and he/she will have 3 weeks to return the book.? Renewals can be requested, but not guaranteed.? There is no charge for inter-library loans, but fines are $1.00 per day for overdue inter-library loan books.
Materials (books, movies, audios) all circulate for 3 weeks. They can be renewed for an additional 3 weeks by phone, in person, or online before they are due, provided no other patron has reserved them.
Overdue books, movies, audios, etc. will be charged 5 cents per day. Fines and fees may be paid at the Circulation Desk with cash, check, or card.
