Overdue Fines and Fees

Circulating Items

Regular circulating books are renewable and you are not fined for use of these items unless the items become grossly overdue. Once a book reaches 28 days overdue and is not returned to us that item will be considered billed for replacement. The fees for replacement are:

  • The cost of the book
  • An additional $10 billing fee to cover our recovery and/or replacement efforts

Once the items are returned to us the cost of the items will be waived but patrons are still responsible for the $10 billing fee per item.

Recalled Items

Items that have been recalled for use will begin accruing fines of $1 per day once the recall due date has passed. Please note that if a book becomes billed for replacement that cost will be added to the already accrued recall fines.

Leisure Collection

Fines for overdue Leisure Material are as follows:

  • Books and Audio Books- $.25 per day
  • Videos- $1 per day. The items are billed for replacement once they are 3 days overdue. The replacement fees for videos are $30 plus an additional $10 billing fee to cover our recovery and /or replacement efforts.
