Borrowing & Returns

Loan periods vary by item, but most books can be borrowed for 2–3 weeks. You can find loan periods for all items on our Borrow & Return page.

You can place holds online through the Mid-York app or catalog, by calling the library, or at the circulation desk. The catalog includes items from all 43 Mid-York libraries, giving you access to a wide range of materials. For more details, visit the Holds section of our Borrow & Return page.

Items can be renewed online, by phone, or in person. Most items are eligible for renewal, except for Library of Things items. You can find a complete list of item types and renewal limits on the Renewals section of our Borrow & Return page.

We are a fine-free library, which means most items do not have late fees. Museum & Park passes and Library of Things items are exceptions. To help others enjoy our collection, we encourage you to return items as soon as you’re finished. To learn more visit our Borrow & Return page.

Yes. If an item is lost or damaged, a fee may be charged based on the cost of the item. If this happens, please contact us and we’ll work with you to resolve it.

Library of Things items and Museum & Park passes must be borrowed in person at the library that owns them. Holds cannot be placed online for these items. If you’d like to check availability before visiting, give us a call. We can hold an item at the circulation desk for up to 30 minutes.

Our New Name

Our new name reflects the communities we serve. As the library continues to grow and evolve, we wanted a name that better represents Vernon, Verona, and Sherrill and the people who use and support the library every day.

The library is supported by residents across the VVS area, and this name reflects that shared investment. It also creates a stronger, more inclusive identity while continuing to provide the same services, resources, and welcoming space our community values.

Our tagline, Where Community Meets Curiosity, reflects this as well, bringing together people, ideas, and opportunities for learning and discovery.

The name reflects both our location and our role in the community. We are located in the southwestern corner of the VVS district, but more importantly, we are in our community’s corner, here to support, connect, and serve.

“VVS Corner Library” represents who we serve and who we strive to be.

Yes. The library will be doing business as VVS Corner Library, but checks can still be made out to either VVS Corner Library or Sherrill-Kenwood Free Library. Both are valid and will be processed as usual.

Only the name. All of our services, programs, and resources remain the same. You can still borrow books, access the digital library, attend programs, use public computers and WiFi, and participate in events. Everything you’ve enjoyed in the past is still available!

No. Your current library card remains valid. The name change does not affect library accounts, borrowing privileges, or access to services.
