Materials may be checked out and returned during the monthly club meetings. Videos and DVDs are loaned out at a cost of $2.00 per rental per month. Books are $1.00 per rental per month.

Being new to the club what’s the process to check out books and or DVDs?
Also, you’ve stated above that we must present club membership cards at the time of purchase, when or where do we pick up our membership cards.
Thanks, looking forward to checking out some of the video’s and books to help me in areas I’m having problems.

Great questions Carol. I am not really sure about the membership cards…we have not had any since I have been a member so I will update that on the site.
As for the library, you can checkout books & movies (DVD’s and some VHS) from the cart during our club meetings. Movies are only $2.00 to rent for the month.
See you soon,
Patrick
