Temporary Cards

As a temporary or newly arrived resident of Ketchikan, you may place a $30.00 cash deposit in exchange for borrowing privileges at the Ketchikan Public Library. When you are ready to leave town, no sooner than 24 hours after issue, and all library materials have been returned, you may have your $20.00 deposit back. $10.00 covers some costs of having a deposit program. The deposit card is valid for six months. If you do not claim your deposit when the six month period has passed, the library will consider your deposit a donation. Your deposit allows you limited borrowing privileges and use of the Internet. All borrowers are limited to two items for their first check-out. After the first two items are returned, you may have up to four items out at a time. Library equipment and Interlibrary Loan are not available to deposit card patrons. Should any item become more than one month overdue, your deposit will not be returned to you. If you have enjoyed using the library, please consider donating your deposit when you leave.
