No way! You're off the hook. The Library does not charge fines for late items. That is, as long as you bring it back or renew it!
When materials are overdue the Library follows this procedure:
- The library sends 3 notices to a patron's email account when an item has reached its due date. The library has a two week grace period for regular overdue items.
- When the item is more than two weeks overdue, it is considered "long overdue", and a fee of $50 will be placed on the patron's account.
- Patrons with fees on their account will have their library privileges suspended until the charges are resolved (i.e. no new check-outs until the fee is paid or item is returned).
- Long Overdue fees on non-Reserve items will be waived when the item is returned. Long Overdue fees on Reserve items are handled on a case-by-case basis.
