Station. Overdue items cannot be renewed online. No items will be renewed by telephone,
fax, surface mail or email.
Returning Items:
Items are due before the library closes on the date stamped on
the due date slip attached to the item. Items checked out at circulation
must be returned through the book drop at the circulation counter
or through the outside book drop.
Overdue Fines:
- Overdue fines are applied to items returned late. Overdue
fines accumulate for every day the item is overdue, including
days when the library is closed.
- Overdue fines are $.25 per day per item, with a maximum fine
of $20.00 per item.
- The library sends overdue notices; however, there is no assurance
that patrons will receive them. A borrower is not exempt from
penalties for overdue books and unpaid fines because of failure
to receive a notice from the library.

Lost or Damaged Materials:
If an item is lost or is presumed lost, the borrower should immediately
report the item lost and make arrangements to pay for the material.

and any accumulated overdue fines. A refund of replacement costs
can be made within 6 months for a lost item found and returned
in good condition.

to Circulation & Reserve. Materials checked out on an ID
