Overdue Items

Materials should be returned to the library or Bookmobile by closing of the date shown on the receipt. If you are unable to visit the library or Bookmobile, please be sure to renew your items.

Fines accumulate the first day an item is overdue. A fine of 10 cents per day per item is charged for most overdue adult materials. The maximum fine is usually $5 per item. The fine for overdue children’s materials is 5 cents per item per day up to a maximum of $2 per item. A fine of 50 cents per day per video or DVD is charged, including children’s materials; the maximum fine is $10. Fines can be paid at the Check Out Desk or on the Bookmobile. The library accepts cash, check or credit card as payments for fines.

Lost or Damaged Items

If you lose or damage materials contact staff at the Check Out Desk or on the Bookmobile. A processing fee, along with the replacement cost of the item, is charged for all materials. If you pay for a lost item, and then locate it in good condition within one year, you may return it to the library for a partial refund of your payment. Damaged items and multiple-part items with any piece missing will be assessed the full replacement fee plus processing fee.
