What are the library fines and fees?
Fines and fees are charged in the following situations: • if an item is returned after its due date (following the grace period); • if an item is returned damaged, or a part needs to be replaced; or • if an item is not returned. Overdue fines for most items are: • 10 cents per item per day … up to a maximum of $5.00 per item. For children’s and young adult (teen) items, overdue fines are: • 5 cents per item per day … up to a maximum of $2.50 per item. Overdue fines begin after a grace period of 7 days, excluding Sundays and holidays, following the due date of the item. (Videos and DVD’s have a grace period of 2 days, excluding Sundays and holidays). You can see your fines by checking your account online: Log in using your barcode or username and PIN.
