This fee is charged even if the lost card is expired. All library cards from members of the Northern Illinois Library System will be honored at the Cherry Valley Public Library District, just as our cards will be honored at other member libraries. Our books may be returned to any member library and their books may be returned to us. Materials may be returned in the bookdrop when the library is closed. The use of the library and its services may be denied for due cause, such as failure to return library materials or pay fines, destruction of library property, or objectionable conduct on library premises.
Patrons are responsible for library materials while they are in their care.
Fines equaling the cost of damage will be charged to patrons who deface, destroy, or damage library material. The library realizes that normal wear and tear will occur. Patrons are responsible for checking the condition of materials before checking them out and alerting the library staff to defects or damage. Patrons are responsible for all costs and fines associated with the use of their library card. The library will purchase a replacement copy.
