Library Hours and Information

A Heidelberg ID card or a Beeghly Library patron card is necessary for materials to be checked out. Area residents may use the library by purchasing a Community Card; adults $5, students $2. Community members under 18-years-old must be with a parent to sign up for a card.

• Undergraduate students may borrow a total of 50 items at a time. Graduate students, faculty, and staff may borrow up to 200 items.
• Community patrons may borrow up to 5 items at a time. All materials are subject to a 24-hour recall if needed by someone in the Heidelberg community.
• Community patrons may use the library computers to do research using the library catalog, databases, and government resources.

Renewals

• Items may be renewed online, by calling the library, 419-448-2104, or by bringing the item in. To renew online, click on My Account.
• Renewals can only be made within 7 days of the item’s due date. Renewals made after the item is overdue will have the amount of the fine added to the patron record.
• ​Renewals will be denied if a hold has been placed on an item.

• A fine of $10 or more on a patron’s record will block their account and prevent them from borrowing items or requesting items from OhioLINK.
• There is a 7 day grace period for items that circulate 21 days. Fines for items returned after that period will start from the original due date.
• Materials not returned within 30 days after the due date are considered lost and the patron will be charged a replacement fee of $125. The fine is reduced to $50 when the item is returned.
• All fines may be paid in the library. Unpaid fines are periodically sent to the Business Office and must be paid there.
