The Clermont County Public Library has to announced some improvements in how materials are borrowed.

Starting in January, cardholders may borrow books, audiobooks, and music CDs for 21 days.

This includes bestsellers and books from the Lucky Day collection. The loan period for DVD/Blu-ray movies and magazines will be one week. The library will automatically renew materials up to five times unless there is a hold on an item. Enjoy DVD selections of award-winning films like Joker, Parasite, Schindler’s List, and the King’s Speech.

Each branch library is open regular hours and offers Curbside Pickup. Just call to tell a library employee what you want and set up a time to pick up your items using this touchless service.

Lockers will soon be installed outside every branch that will allow cardholders to pick up items when the library is closed.

Call to have your hold and other items placed in a locker. You may pick up the items on your own schedule.

The fine for a late DVD or music CD is now 20 cents, down from $1 per day. This is the same amount applied to an overdue book.

The library is using meeting rooms to quarantine materials so in-person programs are not being scheduled. Instead, the staff members are developing online programs for the whole family to enjoy.

Visit the library’s website and YouTube channel to browse these programs.

  1. Some libraries hold programs in the library outside of a meeting room. So Clermont Co. can still return to offering interesting programs,. They need to be creative in dealing with the governornment restrictions. They also have to understand that some, espy seniors, can’t enjoy virtual offerings. Those people have been totally ignored during the governornment’s stiff clampdown
