LIBRARY NOTES
The Library is pleased to announce that we will be accepting Visa, MasterCard, and American Express for most common transactions as of January 1, 2007. The charge must be $10 or more to use a credit card. For security reasons, credit card numbers cannot be taken by phone, except for the Events Office, and they should not be sent by e-mail. The Library will not keep records of anyone's credit card information beyond the immediate transaction.
Credit or debit cards can now be used for the following transactions:

- Fines/book replacement fees over $10.
- Item sales - books at events, Library book bags, photocopier cards - over $10.
- Event registration fees, according to the following guidelines:
- Members registering for programs may pay by credit card over the phone (to the Events Office only) or by cash, check, or card at the door. Seats paid for in advance are guaranteed. (Seats are nearly always available for those paying at the door
as well.)
- Reservations will be refunded if cancelled 24 hours prior to the program.
- Those registering less than 24 hours before the program may only pay at the door.
- Registration is still required whether you choose to pay in advance or at the door.
Your comments are always important to help us make our services and policies as convenient as possible, and we appreciate your cooperation as we introduce this new aspect of our operations. We hope the use of credit cards will make Library financial dealings smoother and easier for everyone.
