Do I have to come to the library to renew a book?
No, you may renew materials over the phone and online. Please call the library for more information for online renewal.
Are there fines for late returns?
Yes, the fines are as follows:
Books – $.05 Paperbacks – $.05
Magazines – $.05 Pamphlets – $.05
Videotapes/DVDs – $.50 Audiobooks – $.05
Why can’t I return videos in the book drop?
It’s actually in your better interest NOT to return the video in the book drop. Videos tend to break when dropped through the book drop, therefore you would be required to replace the video. Patrons are responsible for all materials checked out, and are liable for lost or damaged materials.
What do I do if the Cimarron City Library does not have the book I want?
Cimarron City Library offers patrons the opportunity to borrow books and materials from libraries across the country through Interlibrary Loan. If we don’t have what you need, we can look throughout the state of Kansas and across the country to see if we can borrow it for you.
Can I make photocopies at the library?
Yes, we have a copy machine. We charge $.10/copy for black & white text; $.15/copy for color text; $.50 per picture .
Can I send and receive a FAX?
Yes. The charge for sending a FAX is $1.00 per page. The charge for receiving a FAX is $.50/page.
Do you laminate?
Yes. The cost depends on the size of the item. We laminate using heat, so you need to give us ample time to get the machine heated and ready to go.
Do you have public access computers?
Yes. We have 8 public access computers. (See our Computer Policy). The only time they might be unavailable is if classes are being held, but class times will be posted well in advance, and at least two computers will always be available for public use.
Are there time limits on the public access computers?
Public access computers have a 60 minute time limit. Additional time can be added if the library is not busy and other patrons are not waiting.
Does the Cimarron City Library have Meeting Rooms?
Yes. Please see the Meeting Room Page for pictures and policy/contract information.
Dear Library Webmaster,
A research project is underway to map resources in the State of Kansas. When searching for your library location we noticed you have no map or address listed here on your web page for the out of town folks. Otherwise, nice web page.
Eric,
Thank you for your post. Absolutely we need that and THANK you for noticing! As we transition to this new platform, it is great to have people interact and let us know how we are doing. I will look at the mapping options. If you look at the tab at the top of the page, Contact/Branch Info, you will find all of the phone numbers and mailing addresses etc. I will probably put the link to the map there.
Take care!
