Fines

• This means that overdue fines will no longer be applied to your library account on most library materials.
• You are still responsible for any library items that you borrow and are accountable for returning your materials on time, as other library users may be waiting to use these items.
• If an item is overdue by 14 days, you cannot use your library account or card to check out materials, place holds, or access the digital library, including eBooks. Your account will be restored once the items are returned.
• If an item is not returned 60 days after its final renewal due date, you will receive a bill for the item's replacement cost.

Yes, we will continue to send courtesy notices by email, as items will still have due dates. You can request a due date slip when checking out. You will receive email notifications whether your item is successfully renewed automatically or cannot be renewed because it has been placed on hold for another patron. If you haven't provided your email address yet, please contact the Circulation Desk.

• Library users who have opted for email notifications about overdue items will receive a reminder email when their items are 7 days overdue.
• A follow-up email will be sent at 14 days overdue. At this point, their library account will be blocked from borrowing new materials.
• If items remain overdue for 30 days, a replacement fee and a processing fee will be added to the library account. These fees can be reversed if the overdue materials are returned.
• However, if items are still overdue at 60 days, the replacement fee and processing fee will no longer be reversible. The library user will need to pay these fees to reinstate their library account.

Library accounts must be renewed each year. If accounts remain inactive for several years, they will be deleted. To reactivate your account, please visit the library, and we will assist you. Remember to bring identification that includes your name and address, as it may be necessary to create a new account for you.

We warmly welcome voluntary goodwill donations in person at the library. You can also make a donation online. Tax receipts are available for donations exceeding $20.
