Q. What should I do if I lose my library card?
Since you are responsible for everything checked-out out on your library card, the first thing you should do is notify the library that the card is lost. We will make your card inactive so that no one else can use it. Then, the next time you are in the library, you can get a new card simply by showing an ID. The fee for a replacement card is $1.00. Everything that was on your record, such as the materials you had checked out, holds you had placed, fines, etc., will move to your new card number automatically.

Q. Why are the libraries sometimes closed during and after a weather emergency?
Libraries staff, as any county staff member is responsible for manning the Resident Information Center (RIC) in an emergency. Staff are on-duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the emergency is over and may continue to work at RIC for an extended period afterward. When it becomes impossible to keep the libraries staffed and also to take care of our RIC duties, the decision may be made to close the libraries. We are always sorry when this happens, but our duty and our privilege is to assist the citizens of Pasco who are affected by the emergency takes priority.
