Borrowing Policies
Shelton residents are welcome to one free library card. The card must be renewed every 4 years. Minors between the ages of 3 and 17 must be accomapnied by a parent or legal guardian when obtaining a card, as the parent/guardian must sign it. Replacements cards are available for lost cards with a charge of $1.00. Please bring a driver's license or other proof of residence when signing up for a card. New cards are available at either library. Your Shelton card will allow you to borrow at any public library in the state. Residents from other towns are also welcome to borrow materials at the Shelton Libraries with a library card from their hometown. Once checked out, most items can be renewed one time. Renewals can be performed in person, online, or over the phone, as long as no other member is waiting for the item(s). Pre-overdue notices for checked-out materials can be sent via email. Overdue notices will only be sent via email.
