1. Logging into your library account is the easiest way to keep track of when your items are due.
2. The Library will email overdue warnings if you have a valid email account in the system.
3. The final overdue notice is mailed five (5) weeks after the due date. The
   notice lists the title and replacement cost of each overdue item.
4. Items will be deemed to have been lost if they have been overdue for twelve (12)
   weeks.
5. At the discretion of the Chief Librarian, an overdue account may be sent to the
   library’s collection agency. The collection agency’s fee is assessed as a percentage of
   the overdue account and will be added to the cardholder’s overdue account.
6. Adult and Young Adult cardholders who have reached twenty dollars ($20.00) in
   outstanding fines or other fees, and Child cardholders who have reached ten dollars
   ($10.00) in outstanding fines or other fees will not be allowed to borrow resources
   until their account is paid.
7. Notwithstanding paragraph 5., accounts may be paid in installments without loss of
   borrowing privileges and accounts may be reduced or waived in very special
   circumstances.

1. The original purchase cost if it is available, shall be charged. If this is not available a fee for the type of item damaged or lost shall be charged. This charge may be waived if an exact replacement copy in new or pristine condition is provided by the cardholder. Should the cardholder find a lost item within six (6) months of having paid the lost fee for the item, the cardholder shall be reimbursed for the item. After the six (6) month period, the item remains the property of the cardholder.
