3. Fines and Lost Materials

We are a Fine-Free Library! To ensure the best access for our community, we do not charge daily overdue fines on books, movies, or magazines.

Exceptions & Fees:

  • Hotspots: Because these are in high demand, a late fee of $2.50 per day will be charged for hotspots not returned by their due date.
  • Lost or Damaged Items: Patrons are responsible for the replacement cost of any materials that are lost or returned with significant damage.

Please contact the library as soon as possible if you believe an item is lost so we can discuss the next steps.

 

4. Interlibrary Loan
