Reciprocal Borrowing

As a member of the Suburban Library Cooperative we share a catalog and reciprocal borrowing privileges with other SLC libraries. Individual library policies apply to materials owned by other libraries so fines, fees and check-out periods may differ. It an item is checked in at another library, it takes approximately three days to receive that item through our delivery service.

Copy Machines

Two black and white copy machines are available for patron use. Copies are 10¢ per page.

Deposit Collection

Because people were not returning GED and ASVAB books, the library created a Deposit Collection. All circulating GED and ASVAB books are now shelved at the Circulation Desk. In order to check one out, the patron must leave a $10.00 cash deposit. Books must be returned directly to the Circulation Desk and if the patron has their receipt or identification, the $10.00 deposit will be returned to them. Regular overdue fines apply if these items are returned late. It is possible to check out more than one book at a time, however, a $10.00 deposit must be left for each book. These books cannot be renewed.

Exam Proctoring

In support of life-long learning, the Roseville Library will proctor exams for Roseville residents. It is the student's responsibility to verify that the proctoring conditions provided by the Library meet all requirements of the institution administering the exam. Our brochure has detailed information including how to request proctoring services.

Fax Service

The library now offers fax service for fax numbers within the United States! The cost is $1.00 per page, including any cover sheet you might like to send with your document. Just pay for the number of sheets you are planning to fax at the Check-Out Desk. Take your receipt to the Computer Aide or Librarian at the Information Desk, and they will send your fax out for you.

MelCat

The Roseville Public Library participates in MelCat, a voluntary state-wide lending program. If you searched our shared catalog and could not locate a print title that you would like, you may search and request titles in MelCat at www.mel.org. Normal delivery is usually one week.

Internet Access

The Library has 19 computer terminals available for internet access with varying session lengths; 13 computers are in the adult area and 6 are in Youth Services. Patrons logon to the internet system using their library cards. See the Computer Aide for assistance. If a patron is not eligible for a library card, or declines a traditional library card, they may purchase a card that allows them access to the library computers.

The cost varies depending on how long you need the card:

     1 month - $2.00
     6 months - $10.00
     1 year - $20.00

Printing is available from the internet computers at 10¢ per page; printing charges must be prepaid before printing. Internet users agree to follow the policy guidelines of the Roseville Library Commission.

Library Cards

Free library cards are issued to persons residing or paying property taxes in Roseville. Proof of eligibility is required. Also, employees of businesses in Roseville and students attending a school in Roseville can obtain a Roseville only courtesy card provided they can required documentation from the employer or school. Contact the library regarding correct documentation.

Others not eligible for free service can purchase a Roseville local non-resident card for $75.00 per year or a Suburban Library Cooperative non-resident card for $200.00 per year.

Materials by Mail

Homebound Roseville residents are able to register with the Library to receive books, magazines, DVDs, etc. by mail. They also may return the materials in reusable shipping bags through the mail at no cost. This program makes the rich resources the library has to offer available to a wider segment of the Roseville community. For additional information contact Rita Valade at 586-447-4550.

Study Rooms
