Long Overdue and Outstanding Fines

Patrons are notified when an item is long overdue. Long overdue items may cause your account to accrue charges in excess of $10.00. When you account has fines or fees in excess of $10.00, the account will be blocked and you will no longer be able to borrow materials.

Sign up for email or text message notifications to receive notices and reminders about due dates. You can also monitor your account online.

Return Bins

There are walk-up return bins near the parking lot entrance and a return bin in the drive-thru lane. These can be used any time to return library materials.
