Overdue policy changes for ages 60 & older

Beginning November 18, 2009, we will no longer exempt anyone from fines on movies & video games. ($1.25 per day)

There will be a grace period of three days after the due date on these items for ages 60 & older, if returned within the three-day grace period. On the fourth day, fines acrue for all dates after the original due date. (For example, if a movie is due on Monday, there is no fine for returning it on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. But, if it is returned on Friday, there is a $5 fine for being four days overdue.)

We need people to bring back Library items on a timely basis (especially our most popular items—movies & video games) to prevent abuse, to save money and to reduce waste of tax dollars.

Patrons ages 60 & older remain exempt from fines on other materials.

We appreciate your understanding!
