The purpose of fines is not to punish borrowers. Instead, the goal is to have library materials returned so that they can be used by other library patrons.
The catalog will attempt to automatically renew materials except for downloadable eMedia (ebooks and audiobooks), “Tech-to-Go” items, Hot Picks and overdue items – these cannot be renewed automatically. Items also cannot be auto-renewed if:
If the item cannot be renewed, you will receive a courtesy notice by phone, email or text before it is due. You will still be responsible for lost or damaged library items that have been billed to your account.
