OVERDUE NOTICES | OVERDUE FINES | BILLING
Overdue notices are issued as a courtesy to all library users. However, non-receipt of an overdue notice does not exempt a borrower from applicable fines or billings. To avoid overdue notices, fines, and bills please renew your materials before the due date stamped in each item
​
Late Return Fees
Fines per item - AV: $.50 per day
Books and materials: $.10 per day
Fines should be paid at the Check-Out Desk. If you have questions about an overdue notice, contact the library. Outstanding library charges in excess of $5.00 will automatically block your borrowing privileges. If you are a student, outstanding library bills may also prevent your registration for classes, your graduation, or requests for transcripts. Please pay your library bills promptly.
