OVERDUE MATERIALS

 

Books, Audio Books, Magazines and CD-ROMs:  When the item is two weeks overdue a notice is sent out and a fine of $.50 is charged.  If the item has not been returned one month later another notice is sent and the fine is raised to $1.00.  This monthly process continues until the fine has reached $2.00 and the book is four months overdue.  If the book is not returned within two weeks of this fourth notice then a letter is sent with the cost of a replacement book included.    

 

Videos:  A fine of $1.00 per day per video is charged.  A maximum fine of $5.00 is charged for overdue videos.  A reminder phone call is made to patrons if a video is not returned at opening the day after the video was due.  If videos have not been returned three days after the due date another phone call is made.  If videos are not returned within a week of the due date then a letter is sent to the patron with the cost of a replacement video listed.  If a patron has not given the library a valid phone number then a reminder phone call can not be made.
