Borrowers are responsible for all material checked out on the card. Library materials not on reserve may be renewed in person or by telephone. Borrowers must be at least 18 years of age to check out non-juvenile videos. Fines are charged for all overdue library materials at 5 cents per item per day. Patrons returning overdue materials to a county public library will be charged fines according to the days that particular library is open.
Charges made for damaged lost or mutilated materials are non-refundable.
If there is no response in 7 days, borrowing privileges are suspended and the account is turned over to the Collections Department. A second notice and a letter are sent when an item is 5 weeks overdue. The Collection Department will send a third notice and letter indicating the cost of materials plus applicable fees. If materials are returned in 30 days of this notice, replacement charges will be removed, but service charges and overdue fines will remain. Failure to settle the account after 11 weeks past the due date could result in the patron's debt being registered with a national credit bureau, where it could remain up to 7 years and could affect the patron's credit rating.
