Access Services Policies

All users can help to extend the life of the Newton Gresham Library's collections by following these guidelines:

• Protect borrowed materials from rain, dampness, sun, heat, pets, and smoking and tobacco products.
• Handle books carefully, especially when photocopying and scanning.
• Mark your place with a bookmark; do not bend corners of pages or use tape, Post-It notes, paper clips, or other objects.
• Take notes rather than using highlighters, underlining, or writing in the margins.
• Avoid eating snacks and drinking beverages while handling or working around library materials.

Please notify the Library Service Desk (2nd floor main lobby) or the Help Desk (1st floor entrance) if you notice a book that may need repair.
