FAQ’s:

How many can I borrow per month?

There are 4 borrows allowed per month (by budget). If you check out 4 items within the first week of the month, then you’ve used your limit for that month. It will reset at the beginning of the next month. Note: Even if you check out an item and return it early, that still counts as a borrow towards the 4 item borrows limit. Bonus Borrows do not count against your 4 borrows. Explore Bonus Borrows during the last 7 days of each calendar month!

Are there restrictions with Kids' Cards?

Only if you have a My First Delaware Library Card or the Super Library Card. These two are restricted from borrowing items considered mature content as follows:

Borrowing for Television rated TV14 or worse will be prohibited.
Borrowing for Parental Advisory Music will be prohibited.
Borrowing for Movies rated PG13 or worse will be prohibited.
Borrowing for Comics rated T or worse will be prohibited.
