An important part of maintaining the library collection and access to it includes retrieving overdue materials so they are available for the public to use. The library aims to do this in a manner that is both fair and effective. Fines are charged for all overdue materials as an incentive for patrons to return them on time.
If you lose your library card, notify library staff as soon as possible, or you will be responsible for any items checked out. The cost to replace your card is $3.
