Avoid Library Fines
Be proactive and stay on top of your library account by following three easy steps
- Return all Reserve items on time (or pay $5 per hour for every hour the lending library is open, up to a maximum of $50 per item.)
- Check your library account weekly (using the library catalog's "My Account" feature) and renew or return non reserve items before they become overdue. Don't wait to receive a notice from the library.
- If "My Account" won't let you renew an item, bring it back by the due date.
Chances are is has been recalled by another user and you will pay $5 each it is overdue, for every day the lending library is open, up to a maximum of $50 per item.
Library Fees and Fines
Fees and fines for recalled and reserve materials have been intentionally set to encourage the timely return of these items because they are in high demand. Money collected as fines is turned over to general university funds, not to the Library. Replacement fees reflect the actual or average cost of replacing particular items, and this money is used by the Library for item purchases and binding.
Users with unpaid fees and fines will be blocked from checking out and renewing items and from placing recall, SRLF, and interlibrary loan requests.
