FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

Anyone with a Pendleton address can get a free library card.

Bring a piece of picture ID with your current Pendleton mailing address, and fill out our application.  If your picture ID is not current, bring it and something official (a rent receipt, a water bill, a checkbook, a paycheck stub) with your current Pendleton mailing address to fill out the application.

The first time you check out, you can have 5 items.  We take a day to put your information into our computer.  After that, you have a limit of 50 items! 

When your application has been entered into our computer, you will be able to hold up to 9 items, from any library in the Sage system.  You can even access your account online to search for and hold the items, though we are always pleased to do this for you at the library, too.

Most of our items check out for three weeks.  They can be renewed twice, if no other patron is waiting to check them out.  Our DVD's and video games check out for one week, and may also be renewed twice.  You can access your account online for renewals, or call us to renew things for you, or come in and talk to us in person (we always like that best).

All overdue items build fines at a rate of 20 cents per day, to a maximum amount of $5 per item.
