The collection agency will make several attempts to reach you over the course of 60 days. If your account is not cleared, credit reporting agencies will be notified which could adversely affect your credit rating.
If you receive an overdue notice or bill for replacement and you believe it is in error, please call the library and ask the librarian to check our shelves.
CONSIDER A GIFT OR DONATION
Memorial gifts are a lasting tribute to a beloved family member or friend. Gifts made to the Irondequoit Public Library will be used to purchase appropriate items which will be added to the collection. Each gift will be acknowledged with a bookplate.
Cleaning out? Make a donation of gently used books, magazines, puzzles, videos, music, video games and audio books you no longer need to the ongoing books sale in our lobbies. We do not accept text books or encyclopedias. Come in and browse!
All donations and memorials are tax deductible
COMMUNITY ROOM:
The Community Rooms at both branches are available for meetings when not reserved for library programs. Reservations and payment for use of the room must be made in advance of the meeting date.
