Library Procedures
Materials and services of Presque Isle District Library (PIDL) are available free to the residents and property owners of Presque Isle County, Forest and Waverly Townships of Cheboygan County, and to the residents of Michigan through interlibrary loan and the Michigan Electronic Library (MEL) as initiated from the participating library.
Circulation Policy
The Presque Isle District Library's Circulation Policy outlines borrowing privileges for various patron types, including residents, non-residents, and temporary visitors. It covers loan periods, renewals, fines, and special collections like the “Library of Things.” While most items are fine-free, certain materials still incur late fees. The policy also details registration requirements, confidentiality practices, and the library’s expectations for the responsible use and return of borrowed items.
