Library Policies

Registration

When registering for a library account, you will need to show proper I.D.  A Patron Registration form needs to be filled out with sponsor information. 

Our Collection

We offer books, newspapers, magazines, music CDs, videos and DVDs.  All library materials are checked out for three weeks (except test books).  Test materials check out for one week.  We allow renewals and reserves by telephone.  To renew material, please call 609.754.2079 to speak to one of our staff members.  We do not charge fines for overdue material.  First overdue notices are sent to the military member.  Second notices are sent to the First Sergeant and third notices to the Commander.  Please return borrowed material on time or call to renew to avoid overdue notices.

Services

Inter-library loan (ILL)

Inter-library Loan (ILL) is a service that you can use to request books, journal articles, and other materials not owned by us.  When you request something from Interlibrary Loan, we will find another library across the nation who has the materials you need and is willing to either lend them to you or make a photocopy of them for you.  The MAFB Library pays for all interlibrary loan costs, including shipment of materials.  Please keep in mind that if you lose or damage a book you will be asked to replace it and may be charged processing fees by the lending library.

Fax

We charge $ .50 for the first page, and $ .50 for every additional page for outgoing faxes.  It is free to fax if the number is local, 1-800, or DSN.  The use of our cover sheet is also free.  If you would like to receive incoming faxes, please notify our staff that you are expecting a fax.  Our fax number is 609.754.5108 and the charge is $ .15 for each page. 

Internet Use

We have 25 computers (1 in the children's room) available for Internet Use.  You must show I.D. and sign and date an Internet Use Policy Agreement before using our computers.  Printouts are $ .15 per page and may be picked up at the Circulation Desk.
