Can I return my books to a county library?

Unfortunately we do not receive or return books to County Library locations and County Libraries will not receive or return books to the James L Cox Public Library. If you check out an item from the James L Cox Public Library please return your items to this library.

Does the library charge overdue fines?

The James L Cox Public Library has eliminated overdue fines on all materials except for Movies for all Library patrons. This move ensures that our public library is living up to its commitment to provide free and equal access to information, knowledge, independent learning and the joys of reading for our diverse community.

The Library encourages patrons to return books in a responsible and timely fashion to the Library so others may enjoy our shared resources.

What happens when an item is overdue?

If an item is overdue, the Library sends a notice by email or text. Once the item is overdue the account is blocked from borrowing and renewing physical items. The account is also blocked from using computers and electronic resources. Once the item is returned the account returns to good standing. If an item is damaged or lost the patron is responsible for the cost of replacing that item.
