Fee Information

Customers are responsible for returning borrowed materials in a timely manner according to the assigned due date. It is the responsibility of the cardholder to review their own library account to understand material lending periods and check for any fees or balances owed. Failure to receive an overdue materials notice, replacement cost notice, or other library fee notice, does not absolve the cardholder from the responsibility of fees accrued on the library account.

Accumulated fees of $10.00 or more will result in loss of borrowing. Five or more overdue items on an account will also block an account from use.

Accumulated unpaid fees of $50.00 or more will be referred to a collection agency. Accounts are submitted to a collection agency on the 61st day after the account reaches $50 or more. At that time, a non-refundable $15.00 collection fee is added to the library account. This referral to a collection agency may affect the account holder’s credit rating.

Juvenile accounts will be sent to a collection agency in the name of the parent or guardian who took financial responsibility for the juvenile library account.
