&amp; Renewals\u200b<\/h1>\n<p>Patrons will be issued two library cards (a wallet card and a keychain card) upon presentation of photo identification such as a valid driver\u2019s license, student I.D. or passport.<\/p>\n<p>Library cards are free to residents of Massachusetts and\/or property owners on Martha\u2019s Vineyard. There is a one-time $10 charge per card for all others. At the age of 8, children may sign up for their own library card.<\/p>\n<p>Books, magazines, and audiobooks\u00a0circulate for two weeks; DVDs and Blu-rays circulate for one week. Materials may be renewed three times provided there are no holds on them.\u00a0To renew your materials online, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/west-tisbury.clamsnet.org\/MyAccount\/eCARD?branchid=35\">www.clamsnet.org\/patroninfo.<\/a> Enter the barcode on the \u00a0back of your card (or your username), and enter your\u00a04-digit PIN. If you did not request\u00a0a custom\u00a0PIN when you applied for your library card, use\u00a0the last 4 digits of your library card barcode. Select the checkboxes next to the items you would like to renew, and click\u00a0<em>renew marked. <\/em>Please check that the renewals were successful. Some items may not be eligible for renewal.\u00a0You can also renew items in person or by calling the library at 508-693-3366.<\/p>\n<p>November 12th, 2019, CLAMS libraries will introduce Automatic Renewals. Eligible (physical) items like books, CDs, DVDs, without holds for patrons will automatically renew up to three times. The new due date is calculated from the previous due date, not from the date of renewal. Please note materials cannot be renewed if: \u2022Someone else has placed a hold on the item. \u2022 The item has reached its renewal limit \u2022 Your account is blocked due to excessive fines or replacement fees. Borrowers who have an email address will continue to receive a courtesy notice three days before the item due date. The notice will list items that have been automatically renewed and the new due date. The notice will alert the patron to items that are ineligible for renewal and the original due date. Please note: this service does not apply to digital materials (i.e., Overdrive), only eligible physical materials.\u00a0We hope you enjoy this new service from your local CLAMS Library!<\/p>\n<p>You must have your library card with you to check out items. We will be happy to hold your books until you can come back with\u00a0your card.\u00a0If your card is lost, replacement cards are available free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>All information regarding library materials circulated to particular borrowers is available only to library staff and the individual borrower.<\/p>\n<p>Patrons are responsible for all materials checked out to them and to their minor children.<\/p>\n<p>As of January 1st, 2020, ALL MV Libraries will be FINE FREE!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/west-tisbury.clamsnet.org\/MyAccount\/eCARD?branchid=35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/westtisburylibrary.org\/publiclibrary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ecard-300x300.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6581 alignnone size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westtisburylibrary.org\/publiclibrary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ecard-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/westtisburylibrary.org\/publiclibrary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ecard-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/westtisburylibrary.org\/publiclibrary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ecard.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t yet have a CLAMS library card, you can now register online and start downloading ebooks or use databases immediately.
