Circulation

When you borrow materials, they need to be returned to the Library in the same condition as when they were borrowed. Items must be returned in their entirety (i.e. all parts must be present together) before item can be checked in. You may return materials at any Westchester Library System member library.

The chart below shows Pelham’s borrowing periods and overdue fines.

But please remember that other libraries in Westchester may have different lending and fine structures.

If you owe more than $5.00 in fines or fees, you may not borrow books from the Town of Pelham Public Library, until your account is paid down.
