When I receive a citation from the police department can I return the materials and avoid going to court or paying a fine?
Once the information is sent to the police department for city ordnance violation it is out of the library’s hands. The police department files the citations and issues a notice to appear in court. If you return your lost materials to the library we will notify the police department. If you received a judgment any fines, etc. owed need to be paid to the Clerk of Courts not the library. The Clerk of Courts than sends the library a check and your record will be cleared of charges for those materials.
