We charge late fees for all overdue interlibrary loan items.
The library also charges fees for the replacement of long overdue materials, damaged materials, and the replacement of items returned with missing contents. Please note: If library materials become long overdue, or an outstanding balance is substantial, library fees may be referred to a collection agency.
Borrowed items are stamped with the due date to help you return material on time. You may also request a printout of all your loans or you may access your account online.
