Overdue Fines and Fees
Books from the general collection do not accrue late fees. However books not returned will be charged a replacement fee which is billed when they have reached Excessive lateness at 28 days.
Fee Schedule
- Reserve Items: Assessed at $1/hour for two hour check-outs, and at $5/day for overnight items.
- Interlibrary Loan Items: Assessed at $5/day.
- Special Collection Items: Assessed at $1/hour for two hour check-outs, and at $5/day for overnight items.
Excessive Lateness
- A balance of $30 or more suspends your borrowing privileges. The balance must be brought below $30 to reinstate your account.
- A book that is 28 days past due is considered excessively late and is inaccessible to other library users. Once a book is 28 days overdue you will be billed for the cost of the book. When you return a book that is 28 or more days overdue, the charge to cover the cost of the book is dropped.
