Borrowing & Renewing

 

Use your NVDPL library card to enjoy countless books, DVDs, newspapers, magazines, and so much more! 

Cardholders are responsible for all materials borrowed on their cards, even on items borrowed by someone else using their cards (unless the card has been lost or stolen), as well as materials borrowed on your child’s card (age 0-12).
