When you owe a total of $5.00 or more in fines and fees, your borrowing privileges will be restricted. You will not be able to check out items, place holds, use the online or telephone renewal systems, or request interlibrary loan materials. You may pay for fines and fees in person at any library branch, or online using a credit card. Once your balance is below $5.00, your full borrowing privileges will be restored.
Materials Recovery Program The Library has contracted with Unique Management Services, Inc.
to help get seriously overdue materials returned so that other customers
may borrow them. |

Most items available for loan may be checked out for a three-week
period. Videos and some books are checked out for seven days.
All items may be returned to any Free Library agency except for Special Loans and Interlibrary Loans. They should be returned to the department or agency from which they were checked out. |
