Fines, Fees & Borrowing Schedule

The Fines, Fees & Borrowing Schedule may be changed without notice at the discretion of the Library Director.

Borrowing Privileges
Most books, audiobooks, music CDs, and DVD sets with 3 disks or more can be checked out for 3 weeks. Magazines, videos and DVDs are checked out for 7 days.

Borrowing Limits
The maximum number of items that can be checked out at any one time per library account is 99.

Holds Limit
Patrons are allowed a maximum of 99 holds on a card at any one time.

Renewal Limit
Due to our increase in renewals, library materials have been out of circulation for too long. As of April 5, 2004, all library items may be renewed up to 8 times only.

Overdues & Fines
Materials are assessed a 5 cent daily fine for each day they are overdue. For these items, we also offer a "grace period." Items returned within 3 days of the due date will not be subject to a fine.

1. There is a $1 daily fine for Reference materials and Educational Sets. Overdue Interlibrary Loan items cost 50 cents per day with no grace period.
2. If a patron has accumulated a total of $20 or more in fines and fees, the patron may not check out any library materials until the fine is paid down. If the total exceeds $50, the account may be referred to a collection agency.

Photocopying
10 cents per page and 15 cents double-sided. Up to 10 free copies of reference materials may be made.

Computer Printouts
After one free page, black and white: 10 cents per page; color $1 per page.

Library Material Replacement
The replacement fee for library materials shall be the full retail value of the materials, as recorded in the library database or in Books in Print.
