Fines and Fees

To help us provide optimum service to all our patrons, we employ an extended use fine system.
Fines are assessed on a per day, per item basis.


Overdue Fines on Materials for Adults
  • Books, Magazines, Videos, Audio Books,
    Compact Discs, and Software..................................................$0.25 per day
  • Interlibrary Loan (ILL) items from non-CCRLS libraries........$1.00 per day
  • Cultural Passes...........................................................................$5.00 per day
  • Library of Things Materials (ukuleles, totes, etc.,).................$1.00 per day

Overdue Fines on Materials for Youth
  • Books, Magazines, Videos, Audio Books,
    Compact Discs, and Software.....................................................Fine Free*
  • Interlibrary Loan (ILL) items from non-CCRLS libraries..........$1.00 per day
  • Library of Things materials (microscopes, totes, etc.,)...........$1.00 per day

NOTE:  Overdue fines take effect after a one day grace period, with the exception of Cultural Passes.  Overdue fines for most materials will accumulate to a maximum of $5.00 for items owned within CCRLS, and $10.00 maximum for Interlibrary Loan items overdue.  Overdue fines for Cultural Passes have no grace period and will accumulate up to the replacement cost of the pass.

*Fine Free means that if a youth item is 21 days overdue, the cost of the item will be billed to the library card account.  A bill notice will be mailed to the address on file and charges in excess of $50.00 (fifty dollars) will cause the account to be blocked.  If items are returned within 90 days of the overdue date with no damages, the charges and any blocks will be removed from the account.  Replacement or damage charges will still be applied if an item is returned with damages or missing pieces, or is late in excess of the 90 days.
