Yes. The County has a courier that comes by our library twice a week and delivers items back to us. Horry County does not have the ability to check in items from your account however. Items will still display as "out" until they arrive back at Chapin Memorial Library. Late fines accrued during the transfer time from the County to Chapin Memorial are subsequently waived.
Yes. If you show another photo ID such as a driver's license, you can check out materials the first time you forget your card. If you forget the card a second time it will be marked as lost and you must pay a $2.00 fee to replace it.
