Please Note! |
Beginning February 1, 2013, patron accounts with $25 or more owed in overdue billed library materials or fines will be referred to Unique Management Services, an agency that specializes in retrieving materials and fines for libraries. A $15 nonrefundable fee will be assessed for each account referred to Unique Management Services. Any overdue account must be completely resolved and paid in full in order to resume borrowing privileges.
We understand how easy it is to overlook the due dates for items you have borrowed from the Library. We would be happy to send a series of email reminders - call the Library to sign up today. When you borrow an item, we also give you a receipt showing what has been borrowed and the due date. Keep this handy as your remainder of when items are due!
