FINES
The system indicates the date due. The standard loan period is three weeks. Fines will be assessed on material returned after the due date. Fines are not charged for closed days. Material returned in the bookdrop is considered returned the last day that the library was open.
No fine is charged for material overdue because of the death in the borrower's immediate family, if the material is returned within 2 weeks of the date of death.
No fines are charged for days the library is closed whether it’s a planned or unplanned closure.
Other exceptions of "no fine" may be made at the discretion of the lead support supervisor or librarian-in-charge.
