There are charges for sound and vision loans and charges for overdue books

Education CD-Roms are free of charge.

Borrowers who are unable to use the free book lending service because of disability may borrow some titles free of charge and for longer periods.

There is a request service for books which are not in stock in, or on order for, Suffolk libraries.

You can borrow, reserve, renew or return titles at any Suffolk library (useful if you live in one town but work in another for instance). There are public terminals in all our libraries, however small.
