When the borrower’s account exceeds $10, borrowing privileges will be suspended until sufficient fees are paid to reduce the balance owed to less than $10. The library’s primary interest is in getting the material back to it can be available for other customers.

overdue and is considered lost.
 
The cost of materials that are lost or damaged will be charged to the borrower’s account. A $5.00 processing fee will also be added for each lost or damaged item. If materials are not returned or fees are not paid, the borrower’s account may be referred to a collection agency after 51 days of the item being overdue.
