How does the library work?
Interested individuals may request materials 2 different ways:
- Fill out the order form below.
- Call the project and request the materials by phone ((775) 784-6471 in the Reno area, or
(877) 621-5042 toll-free in Βι¶ΉΣ³»).
Materials are sent to borrowers with a cover letter, evaluation forms, and a return envelope (or other supplies). The return postage is the borrower's responsibility.
Materials are checked-out for 1 month. If a borrow needs extra time with a resource, they may contact the project to request additional time.
If materials are damaged or lost while in the possession of a borrower, the borrower will be charged to replace the damaged/lost item.
The evaluation forms are a very important component of the lending library. Borrowers will receive one evaluation form for each material requested. Although this may be a tedious task for some, evaluating ALL project activities is VERY important for the continuation of funding.
