Circulation Desk
WHAT'S MY PIN NUMBER ???
The catalog system requires a P.I.N. number when placing holds either here or at home. Your P.I.N. number in most cases is the last 4 digits of your telephone number. Some patrons were given a random number when they registered for a new card, this number was written on the card and/or told to you when you registered. You can ask for the number to be changed to the last four digits of your phone number. This is an extra level of security and allows you to access the catalog and your account to view current holds, items checked out and to renew books.

LIBRARY CARDS
Residents may apply for a Fiske Library Card (provided they do not already have a card at another SAILS library) at the Circulation Desk. Identification (ie driver's license) is required in order to receive a card. A patron must have a valid library card with them to borrow materials. Lost cards will be replaced one time at no cost. Successive replacements will be $1, $2, $3, etc.

Library materials may be renewed online or by calling the Circulation Desk at 384-5440. BE AWARE HOWEVER -- If you have more than 7 overdue items OR owe $10.00 or more in fines/bills you will be unable to place a hold or renew books. Videocassettes may be renewed one time only. DVD's and items with holds may not be renewed. When you call you will need to have either your library card or the books in front of you so we can get the barcodes of the items needing to be renewed. THANK YOU !
We do accept food for the Wrentham Food Pantry for overdue fees. However, The Board of Trustees has voted to limit the amount of food that can be used to pay overdue bills. You may bring in food up to a limit of $5. Food may not be used to cover the cost of lost materials. Remember that you can renew most items online. If you provide us with your email address you will get an automatic reminder three days before the items are due. Ask us if you need help. We would, of course, prefer that you return items promptly – postage and staff time are costly.
MUSEUM PASSES
Passes are available to Wrentham residents only. Reservations are accepted on a first come first serve basis up to a month in advance. Reservations can be made in person or over the phone. Passes must be checked out on a Fiske Library card in good standing. Passes must be returned on the day they are used at least a half hour prior to closing. If returned when the library is closed, the pass may be returned in an envelope in the bookdrop.
