For the convenience of its patrons, the Memorial Library of Nazareth and Vicinity provides the option of making an online donation with a credit card or a debit card. The library also accepts credit or debit card to pay library bills, fines, fees, and sale items in person at the library (minimum $5).

The Library accepts Visa, MasterCard, and Discover cards. The Library is subject to compliance with all laws, statutes, and reasonable terms and conditions associated with accepting these credit cards. The Library does not charge a fee for a credit card use.

Credit and debit cards may be used to pay for most library fines and fees in person at the library. These include payments for overdue fines, lost or damaged materials, library fee cards, and other circulation transactions.

Credit and debit card payments may be made in person at the Main Circulation Desk. Credit and debit card payments will not be accepted at the Children’s Circulation Desk, by telephone, or by e-mail.

Patrons who have paid by credit card for lost materials and subsequently found and returned them will be issued a refund through the Library Billing Department. This refund will be given in cash.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting PII from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur: we will notify you via email and this website within one business day.

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
