Section 2-4 Fines and Fees Policy

Fines are established on overdue library materials in order to facilitate the broadest use of library resources by encouraging timely renewals or returns. Fines are automatically calculated by the library’s computer system. Patrons may choose to keep materials beyond the due date at their own expense, but are encouraged to make use of the renewal procedure in order to avoid incurring fines.

Failure to return library materials or pay library charges has legal implications, although the public library relies upon patron honesty and personal responsibility whenever possible. Fines and fees are returned to the county as revenue and utilized to fund library services and resources.
