Although anyone may come in and use the library, only attorneys who are registered in New York State in good standing may borrow materials. Most materials circulate for 3 weeks.
Overdue Fines
Fines for overdue materials are $1.00 per business day, up to a maximum of $20.00 per item. When outstanding fines reach $10.00 borrowing privileges are suspended.
When borrowed material is 28 days overdue, the cardholder is billed for the cost of replacing the item.
Confidentiality of Library Records
We comply with CPLR §4509 of the New York statutes which states:
"Library records, which contain names or other personally identifying details regarding the users of public, free association,
school, college and university libraries and library systems of this state, including but not limited to records related to the
circulation of library materials, computer database searches, interlibrary loan transactions, reference queries, requests for
photocopies of library materials, title reserve requests, or the use of audio-visual materials, films or records, shall be confidential
and shall not be disclosed except that such records may be disclosed to the extent necessary for the proper operation of such library
and shall be disclosed upon request or consent of the user or pursuant to subpoena, court order or where otherwise required by statute."
