Our Collection
Books have always been central to libraries. Even as we modernize our services to meet patron demands, books will continue to be a primary resource at our library. We offer a wide variety of titles for babies, children, teens, and adults on a vast variety of subjects. We also have an extensive collection of large print materials as well as books on CD.
Aside from books, we have hundreds of DVDs available featuring new and popular TV shows and movies. We also offer an extensive collection of magazines and newspapers, both local and national, located in our Quiet Reading room.
Loan Periods
- A three-week loan period is given for books and audiobooks on CD, eReaders, and mobile hotspots.
- A one-week loan period is given for current issues of periodicals and DVDs.
- Materials borrowed from other MHLS member libraries through the Kinderhook Memorial Library follow the circulation rules of the Kinderhook Memorial Library.
- Materials, with the exception of eReaders and hotspots, may be renewed if there is not a waiting list for the title.
- Interlibrary loans are due the date indicated by the lending library. Some interlibrary loans may not be renewable.
- The director may establish a different loan period for special collections, materials which are temporarily in great demand, such as for student projects, or materials added to the collection which are in a new format.
- There is no limit on the number of items a patron can borrow at one time.
- Overdue notices and bills relating to lost items will be sent by mail or e-mail in a timely manner.
