Overdue fines - none here
In 2022 we became a Fine Free Library. This means there are no overdue fines on items that are returned late.
Lost charges
If books or other items aren't returned within the Issue Period you will receive two overdue notices, before the overdue items become lost and replacement fees added to your card.
