How many Family Activity Kits can someone check out?
Only one Family Activity Kit can be checked out at a time per library account.
How long can Family Activity Kits be checked out for?
Family Activity Kits check out for one week and can be renewed up to two times.
What are the late fines for Family Activity Kits?
The East Baton Rouge Parish Library is now fine free! We will continue to set return dates for materials and send reminders for items not checked back in or renewed by those dates. Patrons will still be held responsible for lost or damaged items.
Why is a Family Activity Kit I just returned not on the shelf yet?
When Family Activity Kits are returned they are carefully checked for missing and/or damaged components before they are returned to the shelf. This process can take up to one week.
When will I be charged for a Family Activity Kit?
If a Family Activity Kit is returned with equipment in an unusable state you will be charge for a replacement equipment. Due to the labor intensive nature of checking some Family Activity Kits, you may be contacted about replacement charges a week or more from your return date.
Are Family Activity Kits reservable?
Family Activity Kits cannot be reserved.
Where can a Family Activity Kit be returned?
They must be returned to the Circulation Desk at the Main Library, not through a return box.
