Library Services

Copy Machines

Two black and white copy machines are available for patron use. Copies are 10¢ per page.

Deposit Collection

Because people were not returning GED and ASVAB books, the library created a Deposit Collection. All circulating GED and ASVAB books are now shelved at the Circulation Desk. In order to check one out, the patron must leave a $10.00 cash deposit. Books must be returned directly to the Circulation Desk and if the patron has their receipt or identification, the $10.00 deposit will be returned to them. Regular overdue fines apply if these items are returned late. It is possible to check out more than one book at a time, however, a $10.00 deposit must be left for each book.

Interlibrary Loan

As a member of the Suburban Library Cooperative we share a catalog and reciprocal borrowing privileges with other SLC libraries. We also share our catalog with libraries throughout the state through MelCat. In addition, we will request books from participating libraries throughout the United States through Interlibrary Loan. These services can take anywhere from two days to several weeks. Depending on the source of borrowed material, there may be a nominal fee for postage, insurance, etc. which will be explained to the patron before the transaction is initiated.

Internet Access

The Library has 19 computer terminals available for internet access with varying session lengths; 13 computers are in the adult area and 6 are in Youth Services. Patrons logon to the internet system using their library cards. See the Computer Aide for assistance. If a patron is not eligible for a library card, they may purchase a card that allows them access to the library computers for $2.00. The card is good for one year. Printing is available from the internet computers at 10¢ per page; printing charges must be prepaid before printing. Internet users agree to follow the policy guidelines of the Roseville Library Commission posted at each terminal.

Library Cards

Free library cards are issued to persons residing or paying property taxes in Roseville or in a community serviced by a Suburban Library Cooperative member library. Proof of eligibility is required. Also, employees of businesses in Roseville and children attending a school in Roseville can obtain a Roseville only courtesy card provided they can show a pay stub or a letter from the employer or school.

Children under 16 years of age must have the application signed by a parent or legal guardian. Others not eligible for free service can purchase a Roseville local non-resident card for $75.00 per year or a Suburban Library Cooperative non-resident card for $200.00 per year.

Materials by Mail

Homebound Roseville residents are able to register with the Library to receive books, magazines, videos, etc. by mail. They also may return the materials in reusable shipping bags through the mail at no cost. This program makes the rich resources the library has to offer available to a wider segment of the Roseville community. For additional information contact Rita Valade at 586-447-4550.
