Overdue Notifications
Overdue notifications will be sent by email to your

Exceptions: Multicultural Videos are charged at 2 days overdue. Media Collection fines are immediate at $5.00 per item per day.
Lost Materials
Material not returned or renewed within 7 days of the overdue notification will be assumed lost. The borrower will be charged the
actual library purchase price and a
$15.00 non-refundable processing fee per item. If the purchase price cannot be determined a
$60.00 replacement charge per item will be assessed plus the
$15.00 non-refundable processing fee. If an item which was assumed lost is returned within one year the replacement charge, but not the
