Borrowing Guidelines

Adult new books, tablets, and Kindle eReaders circulate for 2 weeks. DVDs, CDs, and Video Games may be borrowed for one week. Most other materials are loaned for three weeks. Fast View DVDs are loaned for three days. Most Farmington and Barney Library materials may be renewed once if no other patron is waiting for the material. Items may be renewed in person, by phone or online.

Log into your library account by visiting the catalog to check on the current due dates of your items. If you are signed up for e-mail notifications, courtesy reminders are sent two days before an item’s due date.

Log into your library account by visiting the catalog to place holds, or by contacting us by phone or email. When your holds are available to pick up, you’ll be contacted by email or phone.  Holds will be held for 5 days. 

Interlibrary loans can be requested by Farmington residents by calling the Adult Information Services Department at 860-673-6791. We only can request items from public libraries in Connecticut. We obtain all our items from the Connecticut State Library catalog. Items are checked out for three weeks, while DVDs are loaned for 7 days. New items are not available via interlibrary loan. Patrons are limited to 3 items per month.
