Loan Periods & Fines

Other Fines

Items borrowed from other libraries through NOBLE or Interlibrary Loan may still accrue fines.

Replacement Costs

Materials that are long overdue (not returned 42 days/ 6 weeks past the due date) will need to be replaced. Students, staff, faculty, and public patrons who have long overdue items must return the materials or pay the replacement cost + a $15 processing fee. After 30 days long overdue (72 days past the due date), replacement costs for students will be sent to student financial services and will be nonrefundable.

Pay Fines

Cash

To pay fines and replacement costs in cash, stop by the circulation desk in the Jenks Library lobby.
