Replacement charges are also levied for unreturned or damaged vertical file envelopes, and for plastic totes for cassettes.

Overdue fines for lost or damaged material may be waived if replacement and processing charges are paid in full.

Customer accounts may be referred to a collection agency if material is unreturned and replacement charges and/or fines are not paid. Overdue fines on lost materials will also be levied at this time if an account must be referred.

Unpaid Fines and Fees Affect Borrowing Privileges

Borrowing privileges will be automatically suspended when unpaid fines and fees reach $10.00. Cash, personal cheques, and Interac (at Main Library only) are all acceptable methods of payment.

A customer will receive one verbal reminder of outstanding fines and fees under $10.00. After this reminder, borrowing privileges are suspended until the debt, regardless of amount, is paid in full.

Expired Library cards are not renewed until all outstanding fines and fees are paid in full.
