Does the library have a grace period after the due date?
No. When the library began to use the receipt printers to indicate the due date, the grace period was built into the receipt. Formerly most items could be checked out for three (3) weeks. Now those same items will be checked out for four (4) weeks. New materials that have a waiting list, magazines, and CD ROMs may be checked out for two (2) weeks. Videos and DVDs may be checked out for one (1) week. The date listed on the receipt or in the online catalog under your account is the actual day the item is due. Fines will begin to accumulate the day after the date listed on the receipt or online in your account. There is also no grace period for items received through the interlibrary loan process.
