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.
