Borrowing

Fines and fees:
Failure to return library materials on time will result in the assessment of fines. Fines are not imposed as a method of obtaining revenue but as a means of assuring that books are returned promptly so that they can be made available to other borrowers. As a courtesy to borrowers, the library sends notices for overdue books on the following schedule:

2 days before an item is overdue,
1 day after an item is overdue,
8 days after an item is overdue, and
22 days after an item is overdue.

It is your responsibility as the borrower of library materials to return materials on time. If an item is lost, the person whose name appears on the checkout record will be charged the cost of the library replacing the item, including cataloging and processing. If the material is not returned or the bill is not paid, the Business Office will be notified and the delinquent borrower’s grades and/or transcripts will be withheld.
