Other materials, such as kits, must be returned while the center is open, as they will not fit through the narrow book drop. When items are returned during operating hours, please make sure that books are handed to the worker at the Gunn circulation desk, or placed in the interior book drop . Do NOT just put the item on the circulation counter or on a table. Failure to follow these procedures could result in the item being accidentally picked up by a subsequent borrower taking the item from the library. You would be charged for the item as it could become lost.
All patrons are subject to fines for materials returned after the date due.
Fines are calculated at twenty-five cents per day, per item, for each day the library is open. Extensive damage may require full replacement charges of the item. Some kits cost several hundred dollars to replace. Textbooks also can be extremely expensive. We mention this to reinforce the importance of being responsible library users.
