NEW HAMPSHIRE

Please Note:  As of 11/19/2008, the online patron reserve function is unavailable due to technical issues.  If you need to reserve an item that is out, please call 664-9715 or e-mail barrpl@juno.com with the item title, author, and format plus your full name and phone number.  We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Online fine payment option is for fines and fees of $4.00 and over ONLY!
The library is charged a minimum fee for online payments; please do not use this function for small payments; these can still be paid in cash or by check made out to the Barrington Public Library.  Please allow 24 hours for your payment to be posted to your account during the week.  Payments received on Friday-Sunday will be posted on Monday.  If you are paying for anyone other than yourself (children, spouse), please drop us a line at blibrary@metrocast.net to let us know which account/s you are paying on.  All payments come through with the name of the credit card or Pay Pal account owner; the only way we'll know to credit another account is if you let us know via e-mail.  Please include the first and last name/s of the person for whom you are paying.  We hope this system gives you another way to take care of fines with ease.

Please allow 24 hours between the time you place your reserve for a book listed as on shelf and the time you pick it up. Staff check these reserve requests once each morning. Items reserved after 10AM will not be pulled from the shelf until the following day. If an item is listed as on shelf and you are coming in that day, please do not use the computerized reserve system; simply give us (664-9715) a call so we can pull the item needed for you immediately.

See What New Books We Will Be Purchasing In Upcoming Months!
The patron request function may be used to reserve items that are currently checked out. This will put you on the waiting list for the item requested. Items that are listed as "on shelf" should only be requested one at a time should you desire a specific title. Bulk reserves of on shelf items should not be done; we simply do not have the staff to pull multiple books off of the shelves for every patron. If you need 5, 10, or 15 titles that are listed as on "on shelf", please plan some time to come and visit us to pick out your books. Renewals of ILL items must be done via phone or e-mail request, not online. These items are lent to you from another library and a staff member must check with that library to make sure a renewal is possible.  SILC cooperative items should NOT be renewed online. 

Please Note: If you have items that are already overdue, the online system will not allow you to renew them. Please call 664-9715 in order to renew any overdue items. You will see a red X next to items that the system won't renew. Click on this red X and it will tell you why the items cannot be renewed (Example: Overdue or On Hold For Another Patron).
