Borrowing and Fees

Things to Know

• Items not returned will be billed at the cost of replacement.
• If a patrons’s fees exceed $20.00, the patron will be unable to check-out items or access some library services.
• Damaged materials or materials that are more than 60 days overdue may be referred to a materials collection agency.  A collection fee of $9.00 will be assessed, per account.
