Overdue items will be billed as lost after 21 days
A lost charge will be added to your account if an item is not returned 21 days after its due date. This charge will be removed if the item is returned within 90 days.
New charge for holds not picked up or cancelled
A charge of $0.25 will be applied for each physical hold that is not picked up or cancelled before the expiry date. This fee is intended to encourage the timely pickup or cancellation of holds, so that more people can enjoy high-demand items.
