Lost and damaged items
These are charged to you at the replacement cost of the item, plus a $10 admin fee.
Unpaid accounts
We will make multiple attempts to contact you before we consider debt collection. If we still can't reach you, overdue accounts will be sent to debt collection and further charges may apply.
Overdue fines
Our District Libraries are fines-free - you will not be charged an overdue fine for returning a book late.
