Fines

 
 

There are no limits on the number of items you may check out. Loan periods for specific items are as follows:

  • Books=4 weeks
  • AudioBooks=4 weeks
  • Compact discs=3 days
  • DVD=3 days
  • Reserve items=3 hours or Overnight
  • Software=3 days
  • Videos=3 days

Reserve books, Magazines, Journals, Newspapers, Microfilm, and Microfiche are not loaned outside the library.

We no longer charge overdue fines for books! However, if your book is overdue, you will get a notice. If you lose a book you will be billed, but we no longer charge overdue fines on books. Audio, video and software are charged at one dollar per day. Late reserve items are charged at 25 cents per hour.

In the last week of classes of fall and spring terms, the library holds a pet food drive for the Amherst County Animal Shelter. Donations to the pet food drive will erase all overdue fines, but they will not erase lost material fees.

Books may be renewed for a second loan period only once and only if no one else has requested the item in the meantime. Videos and CDs may only be renewed for one day. You can renew your items online by going to Your Library Record. Enter your Social Security number and you will have access to a list of all the items you have checked out. Check boxes in the far left column to renew your material. If you prefer, the Circulation staff can renew your material over the phone at (434) 381-6138.

If you have a question about a fine, or if you think your fine is in error, please contact Mrs. Shirley Reid at (434) 381-6308 or by email at spreid at sbc dot edu.
