Renewing Materials
Renewable CPL materials may be renewed four times after the original checkout unless they are on hold for another patron.
As of May 1, 2019, items with a standard loan period will automatically renew. Your items will renew two days before their original due date, granting you another loan period (3 weeks or 1 week, generally) from your original due date. So, you will not lose any days with your items as a part of this automatic process. Your courtesy notice email will alert you if an item has been automatically renewed, and will include the new due date.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) materials are subject to the lending library’s ILL renewal policies, which typically allow only one renewal.
Holds
Materials will be kept on the hold shelf a maximum of five days after notification of availability is sent to requestors. Patrons with Canton Public Library card or a Plymouth District Library Card can place holds.
DVDs/CDs
There's no charge to borrow media, except for overdue fines of course. The library is not responsible for damage to your equipment from the use of media. And because the library has no restrictions based on ratings of motion pictures, parents are urged to monitor their children's borrowing.
Other Libraries
Reciprocal Borrowing: Your Canton Public Library card works at many local libraries, and residents of other TLN communities may use their local library cards at Canton (some restrictions apply). Bring the library card issued to you at your home library along with valid photo ID to be entered into our system.
