FAQ
Q. Where is the Cache County Library located and who can use it?
A. The Cache County Library is located in Providence, Utah. Turn left at the Maverik station onto 100 North in Providence and proceed to Main Street. Turn right on 100 North and Main and you will find the library at 15 North Main. Though it is the Providence-River Heights Branch, anyone in the county can use the library facility or the Bookmobile because it is a county library.
Q. Where do you get your funds to purchase books, etc.?
A. Budget for the library is provided by Cache County funds, State Library funds (Bookmobile,) and an assessment from Providence and River Heights cities. Some funding also comes from grants, fines, and fees.
Q. How do I get a library card?
A. Library cards can be obtained by filling out a registration card at the library circulation desk or from the Bookmobile Librarian. One card per family is issued and usually in the parent’s name. There is no charge for a card, but duplications cost $1.00.
Q. Can I use other libraries with the Cache County Library card?
A. No. The Cache County Library card can be used only with this library. All other public libraries in Cache County are city libraries and though you may use their facilities and collections on-site, most assess a fee for check-out purposes.
Q. How many items am I allowed to check out at one time?
A. Circulation is for a two-week period so we usually advise patrons to check out what they can read in that time period. We also advise no more than twenty-five items be checked out by the family at a time. Patrons may borrow no more than four DVDs, four audio books, and four children’s books with cassettes at a time. We also allow no more than two newly purchased books with no renewal at one time.
Q. Do you have any good recommendations?
A. We post listings on the library board when new purchases are made. We also provide the Accelerated Reading List for Cache County. The library strives to provide current materials in regular adult fiction, LDS fiction, and juvenile-children’s books. Librarians can advise individually.
