Borrower Responsibilities:
Do not lend your card to anyone else! Library cards should be used only by the person to whom they have been issued.
A physical library card or a valid physical ID must be presented by the cardholder themselves to access records or to check out items.
If the library card was issued to a minor, the parent or guardian who registered the account must be present to access records or to check out items.
By receiving a Fullerton Public Library card, you agree to be responsible for all materials borrowed, any fines, and any loss or damage of library materials.
We provide free and equal access to materials under the Library Board of Trustees approved Fine Free policy (subject to change).
We do, however, ask that you return your items in a timely manner.
If items are significantly overdue, charges for lost materials will be added to your account. If you return the items promptly and in good condition, the charges, minus any potential collection fees, will be cleared.
Borrowers accept financial responsibility for lost, stolen or damaged items.
Borrowers will be blocked from checking out physical materials if any "lost" or irreparably damaged items exist within their account(s). Once issues are resolved, regular borrowing privileges will typically be restored. Borrowers' access to e-materials, computers, and materials for use within the library will remain open.
