Did you know...
... that you can check out your favorite movies and television shows at the Waterford Township Public Library?
The library has a wide selection of both feature films and informational titles. All check out for one week at no cost to you!
Should your week catch up with you before you have the time to watch American Sniper
or finish that final disc of Game of Thrones, you can renew your items (provided that no one else has a hold on the item) any of 3 ways.
- Access your library account online through our website and choose Renew Your Items in the My Account section
- Call the Library during our regular business hours to ask library staff to renew them for you
- Call our 24 hour Automated Phone Renewal System
Our DVDs can be renewed up to two times, for an additional week from the renewal date, without you having to spend an extra dime!
Speaking of dimes, should your DVDs exceed their one week loan period, the late charge is only $0.10 per item for each day you exceed the due date. Are you having trouble locating a childhood favorite or a new release? Contact our librarians, via phone or online chat reference, or search our online catalog yourself and request that title be sent from one of the many libraries in our shared system to our library for you to check out.
