Fines are incurred when materials are returned past date due.
Fines continue to be assessed daily up to the maximum fine indicated for
the material.
When fines reach $10, your library card is inactivated.
If items are not returned within 28 days of due date, the item is considered
lost.
If items are returned in unusable condition, the item is considered
damaged.
Lost and damaged items incur a replacement cost plus a non-refundable
processing fee of $3 except for PBK paperbacks, for which fee is $.50.
If replacement cost is paid for a lost item and the item is returned
within 60 days with receipt, the replacement cost will be reimbursed.
