Items can be checked out for their standard loan period and, if eligible, renewed two times. Library cardholders are responsible for returning or renewing items to prevent their library card from being blocked.
You will receive a notification when your library materials are two (2) and nine (9) days overdue to alert you that you must return or renew them. Notification options available to you are email, text and phone. When materials are thirty (30) days overdue the library considers the items lost and will invoice you for the cost of items and any applicable processing fees. Your library card will be blocked at this point, preventing you from renewing, checking out items and using online services. If you return the items in good condition, the replacement fee and processing fee will be waived. These fees become non-cancellable if the items are not returned within ninety (90) days of being overdue from the initial first due date.
