As a convenience to its patrons, the Library has installed a 24 hour depository for videos only.  The depository, located on the exterior wall of the Library, facing the parking lot, will make the return of videos much easier.  Patrons should pay careful attention to the following rules regarding use of the video depository:

• The video depository is for the return of "on-time" videos.
• Overdue videos must continue to be returned to the Circulation Desk.
• Videos returned in the depository after the Library's closing on the date due will be subject to a one-day fine per video returned.  (See the Calendar of Events for the library's hours of operation.)

Anyone having questions about the video depository should call Mr. Alan Roeckel, Library Director, at 742-8405.

Audiovisual borrowers must be Garden City Public Library cardholders in good standing. Video borrowers must be at least 18 years old; however, those between the ages of 13 and 17 may also borrow videos with the signed approval of a parent or guardian. For those borrowers between 13 and 17 years of age, the Video Loan Policy Form must be signed by a parent or guardian in the presence of a Garden City Public Library staff member.
