St Ives library will be closed for essential maintenance work on Thursday 7th and Friday 8th October.
Changes with effect from Monday 27 September
As part of our road to recovery library offer there will be some loan and fee changes from Monday 27 September.
No overdue fees for junior books
There continues to be no charge for overdue junior books and junior spoken word. We encourage you to return your books on time so that other borrowers may enjoy them.
Loan period
We are returning to our standard three week loan period and have simplified borrowing by standardising loan periods and charges across formats.
Reservations
We have retained the reduced reservation fee of 50p for adult books and all junior books and junior spoken word remain free to reserve for collection at your chosen library.
Overdue fees
Overdue fees for adult stock has been standardised at 25p a day. Any items that have a hire charge, such as adult audio, DVDs and music CDs all have a £1 hire fee for a three week loan.
SPINE book lending between Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Peterborough is now available.
Borrowers may place reservations on Peterborough and Suffolk stock for a £2 charge. As previously, borrowers are able to return items from Peterborough and Suffolk libraries through any branch of Cambridgeshire libraries.
