General Information

There are approximately 11,000 books in the LRC.  In addition, as part of the Scottish Borders Library Service, we have access to the stocks of all the other Border libraries (school and public).

Computers are for educational use only, and may be booked for use throughout the day. The booking folders are kept at the issue desk. Please ask Mrs Fry or Mr Smith for help in booking a PC if you are uncertain how to do so.

Notices about overdue books are sent directly from Library Headquarters. Notices are also sent home, when reservations which have been requested are in the LRC and available to be picked up. Please bring the notice and your library card or Young Scot card with you, when collecting a reservation. If you are over 16, you may choose to have notices emailed instead of posted.

Also, please remember, when returning books to the LRC, to hand them to the librarian on duty, to be put through the computer. If you put returned books on the trolley (or anywhere else), without giving them to the librarian, they are still out under your name, and you will receive overdue notices even if you no longer have the books. You are responsible for any books issued on your card, until they are scanned upon return at the issue desk computer.
