Fines & Fees

Please note: Due to COVID-19, the library board has suspended late fines through September 2022; replacement costs for lost or damaged items will still be charged.

Getting a library card is FREE, but we do charge late fines for overdue adult items.

No overdue fines are charged for kids’ and teen materials, including Early Literacy Kits, Discovery Backpacks and DVDs in the Family section. Why? Because we want kids to read!

Because of the costs of buying and processing new materials, borrowers who lose or damage any items will still be charged for the replacement costs. However, there will be no fines at all if the items are returned to the library in good condition.
