Other Limited Accounts

Other limited library accounts are available for those who cannot open a county resident or regular county minor account. These include: 1) resident-student account, 2) non-resident/second property account, and 3) homeless account. Each of these accounts allows 3 physical item check-outs at a time and access to library computers. None of the accounts can place requests for state Interlibrary Loans or Book Buzz. Only student and homeless accounts have access to digital collections. Non-resident/second-property owners should access digital collections from their home library system to promote equitable use of shared state-wide collections. Only non-resident accounts may check-out Launchpad tablets and begin to check-out 24 items at a time after 3 months of circulation and no outstanding fines or overdue items. An account for a minor experiencing homelessness cannot be created and attached to an account of an adult experiencing homelessness until the adult account has existed for 3 months, and has no outstanding fines or overdue items. These accounts are opened as follows:

Student

Student accounts are for enrolled Duchesne County resident students aged 11 years and up whose parent/guardian will not open both their own account and the minor’s account, or the parent/guardian account has unsettled lost fines. The student must prove their student status by providing one of the following current documents: a student picture ID, their report card, or an official document from their school with the school name and student’s name on it. A written notice will then be sent to the mailing address provided notifying the parent/guardian about the new account. Parents/guardians may present their ID at the library to cancel the account or adjust its privileges at any time. The account may be upgraded to a regular minor account by following the regular minor account process. Parents/guardians of homeschool students must come to the library with their student to open this type of account.

Non-resident/Second property

Non-residents of Duchesne or Uintah counties, or the Uintah and Ouray reservation, or owners of secondary properties in Duchesne County, must present a current photo ID and provide a current phone number, mailing address, and e-mail address.

Homeless

Patrons that are currently experiencing homelessness must present a current photo ID and provide, if possible, a current phone number and email address.

State Interlibrary Loans, Book Buzz, & Materials for Patrons Who Are Blind and/or Disabled

There are various collections outside of the Duchesne/Uintah consortium that adult resident patrons may access, including interlibrary loans, Book Buzz, and materials for the blind and/or disabled.

If there is a requested book that none of the branches in the consortium own and the item does not comply with the library’s collection development criteria, the patron’s home branch staff may search
