Overdue Fines and Penalties

Borrowers may be charged overdue fines of fifty cents ($0.50) per day/per item for all materials not returned or renewed by the due date. After 21 days overdue, all non-returned items are considered "lost" and the borrower will be billed for a replacement charge plus processing and billing fees. We reserve the right to revoke library privileges of anyone who has accrued excessive library charges, ignores recall notices, or who willfully damages library property.
