Fees for items not returned

• A nonrefundable fee will be charged for items that have not been returned and are overdue more than 20 days.
• The fee is based on the average cost for items of that kind, not the exact cost of a particular item.
• We do not accept patron-purchased replacements.
• If you think the item may be found, we recommend that you look again for the item before paying the fee, which is nonrefundable.

Incomplete returns

• If an item is returned incomplete, Library staff will contact you.
• The missing piece must be returned within 30 days to avoid charges.
• A nonrefundable service fee will be charged for items not returned.
