Adult library cards may be obtained by showing proof of current address.

Juvenile cards are available to children from birth to age 17.  A parent must be present to obtain a juvenile card.


Check Out Times

Books and most other library material are checked out for 3 weeks.


Reserves

If you would like to check out an item that is not on the shelf, you may place a reserve in the online catalog https://soutar.biblionix.com/catalog/ or ask at the front desk.


Fines

The library does not charge over due fees.  If the item is not returned after attempts to collect, there will be a charge for the book and the library card will be on hold until all books are paid for.


Book Drop

All items may be returned in the book drop located on the left side of the front door 24 hours a day.


Borrowing from other Libraries

If we do not have what you are looking for in our collection, we’ll try to get it from another library through our Interlibrary Loan.  We do charge $4.00 to defray our costs.  

How to Get eBooks

The Soutar Memorial Library is connected to the OK Virtual Library. There are thousands of eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines you can get online.

In the Catalog

When you’re looking at the In House list, you’ll see colors on each item. Here’s what they mean:

In House books will show a shelf location. If it’s online, it will say “Internet.”

Three Options for Devices and Reading

If You Have a Kindle

It will send you to the page where you log into your Amazon account.

Log into Amazon, click Get Library Book. It will automatically download to your kindle.

Read Now

If you click Read Now in Your Browser, it will open on your screen in a new browser tab.

PDF with EPUB

The EPUB option comes on many eReaders. You can get the right software for most smartphones, tablets and computers.

Apps for Phones and Devices: Overdrive and Libby

You can use Libby on all devices, except for Kindle Fire. Libby is easy to use. I highly recommend trying out the Libby app!

If you’re reading on a Kindle Fire, you must use the Overdrive app. It’s a little more intimidating, but it can be done. Once you get it set up, it’s easy from there.

To get either app, go to overdrive.com.

If you have issues or you can’t get into your account, or if there’s a block for some reason, call the library. We’ll be happy to help you.

Curbside Delivery

We have curbside pickup or delivery now, for the time being.
We only deliver to Seniors and people who are homebound.

How Curbside Works:

The library will get a notification and fill your book order.

Or, You Can Call the Library

If you don’t want to search and reserve, call the library and tell us what books you would like to check out.

Where and When to Pick Up

You can only pick up your books between 3 and 6 pm, Tuesday through Friday, in the breezeway of the library, unless we decide on another way.

When you return your books, put them in the drop box, by the door.

Steps We Take to Make Books Safer

We wipe books with a disinfectant and put them in a closed paper bag for pick up.

We wipe returned books down with disinfectant and set them aside for 72 hours before we check them out again.
