Once you have made your selection, all you have to do is sign your first and last name and put today's date on the card located in the pocket. in the back of the book.  Place this card in the box near the card catalog. Non-members should also include an address and phone number on the cards. The normal checkout period is two weeks for books and one week for videos.  If you'd like to have the items for a longer period, please indicate that information on the card.
