Fines are imposed on those users who are late in returning library materials. The charging of fines is intended to encourage the timely return of materials. The late return of library materials prevents other users from having access to the materials. If you feel that you have been billed in error, present your situation to an Access Services full-time staff member at the Circulation Desk. Damaged or Lost Books Notify the Circulation Desk staff as soon as possible when you damage or lose a book.
Some minor damage is reparable by library staff.
You will not be charged in that case. If you have lost a book, don t delay in letting us know. The library's ability to replace a book can be jeopardized if the book is old enough to no longer be printed or available. As an incentive for early notification to staff of a lost book, overdue charges will not apply. If you return a book that has been charged to your account as lost, the replacement cost will be waived or your account will be credited for the replacement cost of the book.
