Kindle Readers - Circulation Policies
Kindle Readers are available for checkout from the Circulation Desk (3rd floor) at the Lake Worth Campus Library. Kindles are checked out on a first-come, first-served basis. The loan length of time varies from 3 hours to a semester loan.
To borrow a Kindle, you must have a valid Panther Card. If you have any outstanding library fines or charges, you will not be allowed to check out a Kindle.
You are responsible for loss, theft, or damage to the Kindle and accessories. Do not leave the Kindle unattended. When returning the Kindle, make sure a staff member at the Circulation Desk checks the Kindle in and verifies that the equipment is in good working order. Do not return the Kindle to the book drops.
Loan Periods and Hours
Kindles that a class is using may be checked out for the semester. A limited number will be on Reserve for a 3 hour loan. Due to the limited number of Kindles available, they may not be reserved. They may be renewed if available. Kindles are available for checkout from library opening to 1 hour before closing. Closing times vary on weekends, during breaks, extended hours, and holiday periods.
Fines and Fees
For semester loan Kindles, a dollar a day fine will be charged for late return of a Kindle. Late return of Kindles on the 3-hour Reserve loan will be $5.00 per hour. These fines will be attached to your library record and may result in registration restrictions or the blocking of transcripts.
Users will be assessed a fine equal to the replacement cost if the Kindle is lost, stolen, or not returned. Damage charges will be assessed based on the actual repair cost. Replacement costs for the following will be:
- USB cable $13.00
- Power adapter $15.00
- Slip cover $25.00
Downloading Materials
Each Kindle has eBooks that the PBCC library purchased. Any titles that you download to the Kindle will become the property of the PBCC library. The library reserves the right to delete any titles.
