| Overdues and Fines |
Overdue Materials The library has established loan periods for materials it lends to the public. The purpose of these loan periods is to make sure that everyone has equal access to all of the materials in the library. We charge fines for overdue materials to encourage people to return the materials they borrow on time. If you keep a book or audiobook past the return date you still have a grace period of one week to return the material without a fine. |

Overdue Fees
Daily fines on regular items are 10 cents per item per day.
The fee for overdue videocassettes is $1.00 per videocassette per day.
The fee for overdue audiovisual equipment is $1.00 per hour. |
|
Maximum Fee on Overdue Items
The maximum fee on each overdue item, including videos, is $5.00.
The patron is not entitled to keep the item. There are no exceptions. |

Borrowing Privileges Denied
Your borrowing privileges will be denied when the amount you owe in overdue fines reaches 50 cents. The parent/guardian who signed for a child is responsible for all fines or damages incurred by the child. Patrons whose borrowing privileges have been blocked will not be allowed access to the Internet computers until the issue that caused the block is resolved. |
