Note to One Card borrowers from the Okanagan Regional Library

• Items borrowed from the Penticton Public Library and returned to branches of the Okanagan Regional Library are first sent to Kelowna and then mailed to Penticton. We cannot “checkin” an item until we receive it. Therefore, it is still considered “out” and will appear so on your record. While traveling time is taken into consideration when fines are assessed, items still out may effect the number of new items you may borrower. If you make frequent use of our library, please consider returning our items directly.
