Recently, I have heard a lot of questions about how much is charged when an item is overdue. It all depends on the item! We now have a handy sign at the front desk with the information:
If the item is "Library Use Only," there is a $1.00 per HOUR fine. This includes very common items such as headphones or chargers.
If the item is "3-Day Loan," there is a $15.00 per DAY fine. This includes things such as tripods, video and still cameras, projectors, or VGA cables.
The laptop is a special circumstance. Since it is a 4-hour line, the fine is per hour, but due to its expense, the fine is the same as a 3-Day loan. Therefore, it is $15.00 per HOUR.
If an item is missing a part upon return, there is no standard replacement charge for the piece. It depends on the item.
Hopefully this will help clarify some common questions you might have!
