Overdue Fines Reinstated 9/1/2021

During disruptions caused by the pandemic, the library waived overdue fines for all library materials. With regular open hours and circulation, the library will reinstate regular late fines for items returned past their due date on September 1st, 2021. This means that any materials (books, DVDs etc.) returned more than 24 hours after their due date will accrue 25¢ for each day late up to $5 per item when they are marked lost, and the price of the item is charged to the patron’s account. (We will still waive fines for lost items if the item is returned.) If you have long overdue or “lost” items, please return them before the 1st of September to receive fine free returns. If you currently have fines on your account, you can take advantage of the Usborne Book Sale this August to reduce fines. For questions regarding this policy, please call 541-327-3826.
