Loan Periods and Fines
- Charges for overdue items are added to your account. Unless you pay upon their return, you will be asked to settle the account before transacting any other business, including the use of a computer.
- Fines are charged for each day the library is open and the item is not returned. To avoid fines, return material before the library closes on the due date.
- All checks returned for insufficient funds will be charged a $25.00 administration fee.
