My Check-out History [Mi historial de préstamos] es un servicio opcional que le permite mantener un historial de artículos que ha sacado en préstamo de la SFPL. Usted puede optar por activar o no este servicio gratuito, o quitar cualquiera de los títulos de su historial de préstamos en cualquier momento. Optar por activar esta función constituye un consentimiento explícito al almacenamiento de su historial de préstamos desde la fecha en la que opte por activarlo. El personal de la biblioteca no tendrá acceso ni liberará su historial de préstamos a menos que la ley se lo exija.

If you inadvertently return an item that belongs to another library, please contact the location where you returned it ; such items are generally kept for 2 weeks to allow you time to retrieve them.

After 2 weeks, all items are sent back to the owning library. Please note that SFPL doesn't keep records of the titles we return to other library systems.

You can use a private, glass-enclosed study room suitable for 2-4 people. Info about where study rooms are located and how to use them is available on the library website.

You are responsible for all items borrowed on your library card. Please contact the library to discuss any discrepancies.
