Loan Period
Library materials are checked out for 18 days, excluding holidays and Sundays. Most items can be renewed.
Fines
Fines are $.10 per day per item. There is a 4-day grace period for all late items and on the fifth day the minimum fine of $.50 is assessed. Fines on Interlibrary Loan materials are $.25 per day. There is a 1-day grace period for Interlibrary Loans. When fines on your card reach or exceed $5.00, the card is restricted and no more items may be checked out.
Overdue Notices
We send a total of three overdue reminders. The first notice is sent when items are 5 - 6 days overdue. The second notice is sent when items are 3 weeks overdue. When books are 4 weeks overdue, a third overdue notice is sent, a $5.00 restriction fee is added to your card and you will not be allowed to check out any more items. If you are the adult signer on a juvenile’s card, your card and the child’s will be restricted when the child has overdue items. When library materials are 8 weeks overdue and your account exceeds $35, it may be turned over to a Collection Agency and you will be charged a processing fee of $10.00.
