We have removed fines for overdue books. However, borrowing privileges are suspended when a book is overdue and remains unreturned. This is to encourage library users to return books on time to make it fair for other library users, or to renew their books so that we know you still need them and will return them when someone else places a hold on them.
In the event of a lost book, we will bill you with the replacement cost of the book or we allow patrons to replace it with a copy that is the same or a newer edition, provided it's in good condition for lending. We do this to make sure we can maintain the library's collection while accommodating the occasional mishaps that can occur with borrowed materials.
