When Library Card Privileges are Denied
Borrowing and Circulating Information
Library card privileges can be denied for several reasons, including overdue material, outstanding fines, and lost material.

If an item is overdue for more than 30 days or if the maximum fine ($10.00) accrues on your account, you will not be able to borrow materials from the Library until the materials are returned and the fines are settled.

Questions regarding notices, fees, and/or denied borrowing privileges should be directed to the Circulation Department of the Central Library or your neighborhood branch.
