Overdue Policy
The library is a community resource. Please return materials by the due date so that others may use them.
The library sends reminder notices by email, telephone, or mail. When items are approximately 28 days past due a bill is sent for the price of each item plus a $3.50 processing fee per item.
The cost of the material is waived if the item is returned, however, the processing fee remains.
Accounts 30 days past the billing date that owe $50 or more in lost material and/or fines are submitted to Unique Collection Agency and charged an additional $20 collection fine.
If you accumulate $25 or more in fines, access to library services will be restricted.
