"Martin's Most Wanted" Book Service

If you like to be the first to get your hands on your favorite reads, Martin County Library System's new book service, Martin's Most Wanted, gives you immediate access to the most popular books without having to wait.

Here's what you need to know:

· Loan period is four days

· Books are non-renewable

· No holds are permitted

· Fines are $1.00 per day

Martin County Library System's goal with Martin's Most Wanted book collection is to meet patron demand for highly popular items. Because of high demand, the loan period is shortened and late fee increased to encourage early return of the item. The regular reserve system is still available if you don't mind waiting for your materials.

Get on the fast track to your favorite reads! Check out Martin's Most Wanted books on display at the following Martin County libraries:

Blake Library, 2351 SE Monterey Rd., Stuart
