Interlibrary
loan
Materials not in the library’s
own collection are often available
from other resources through
interlibrary loan. Forms are
available at the circulation desk,
and help is available if you need
assistance.
Circulating materials
in our own collection are also
available for loan upon the request
of other libraries within the
Bandera County Federated Library
System (Lakehills and Bandera).
Copies
Black/white
and color copying is available to the public. The price is $.25
per page (b/w), $1.00 per page for color copies.
Faxes
The
cost to send or to receive a fax is
$1.00 per page on the library’s dedicated fax line
(830.589.7514).
PUBLIC
COMPUTERS
The library owns six OPAC (online public-access) computers.
Before
using the OPAC computers for the first time, each person must
first complete and sign a form agreeing to the library’s
Acceptable
Use Internet Policy.
(Note:
If you are under 18, your parent or guardian must also sign
this form.)
Thereafter,
simply sign in at the circulation desk before each use.
Printing
from the OPAC computers on the library’s networked b/w
laser printer costs $.25 per page. To make arrangements for color printing, inquire at the
desk.
Off-line
public
computers
Two offline
“Children’s Computers,” workstations with a
variety of educational computer games installed,
are
available for use by children under adult supervision.
One
of the OPAC computers is designed for handicapped-accessibility.
This computer and the workstation in
the Texana Room, which contains a
number of genealogy software
installations, may be reserved in advance. Call
the library to make arrangements.
LOCAL
AND FAMILY HISTORY
The
library is continually building its digital archive
of information relating to Medina’s
past, including area cemetery
records, a digital photo archive,
school yearbooks, family folders, and books and other
materials relating to local history.
We welcome your help in collecting
this data.
FACILITY
The
library facility is available for use by community groups for
meetings and other non-commercial and non-political purposes, as
long as these uses and their scheduling present no conflict with
library operations or library-sponsored special events. To make
arrangements, call during regular hours.
Please
note that smoking is prohibited throughout the premises; food and
drinks are allowed only in designated areas; alcoholic beverages are
not permitted unless prior approval is granted by the Library Board.
