Loan periods for materials borrowed from GHPL (excluding digital) are now 7 days or 21 days:

  • “Hot Picks” Books – 7 days
  • Magazines – 7 days
  • DVDs/Blu-rays – 7 days
  • Video Games – 7 days
  • Books (excluding “Hot Picks” books) – 21 days
  • Audiobooks – 21 days
  • CDs & Vinyl LPs – 21 days
  • Slide & Negative Scanners – 21 days
  • Board Games – 21 days
  • Acoustic Guitars – 21 days
  • E-books/Digital Media – vary

Additionally, daily incremental fines have been eliminated for overdue items borrowed at GHPL.

  • This excludes items borrowed at GHPL from statewide networks SearchOhio and OhioLINK, which have their own loan terms. (Learn more about this partnership.)
  • A patron account won’t be blocked until it has $10.00 on the account and/or an item that is 21 days overdue or 10 overdue items.
  • Items 35 days overdue are marked lost, and a bill for the replacement cost and processing fee is mailed.
