Schedule of Fines and Fees

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. Fines begin the day after the material is due and continues accumulating until the material is returned or until the fine reaches a maximum accumulation.

The Library strives to keep its materials clean and in good condition. Patrons are charged for minor damages inflicted on materials. Materials that are lost or damaged beyond further use must be paid for.

Library accounts owing more than $50.00 in fines are blocked from library transactions (including online renewals and placing requests). Full or partial payments may be made in 2 ways.
