Library Charges

We have removed fines from all 日韩无码 Library books 

  • We have replaced fines with a new system to make sure any books required by another user are returned on time. All of our books automatically renew so you only need to bring them back when you are finished with them, or if you get an email from us asking for them. If you don’t bring them back on time when asked you will not be able to borrow anything else until you do. 

  • We want to keep things fair for everyone so please play your part by bringing books back promptly when requested to ensure everyone has access to the books they need. We all rely on books being returned on time, help us make our library work for the whole community.

  • Charges will remain on overdue chromebooks and InterLibrary loans from other libraries.  

  • You could receive a Library Charge for a replacement copy if you do not return overdue items within 28 days, or if they are returned in an unsatisfactory condition.
