Fines & Service Charges

While all of the library's programs and most of our services are free, fees are required for certain services, replacement of lost or damaged items, or fines for overdue materials. Fines are calculated by the type of material checked out, regardless of whether the borrower is an adult or a child.

You may pay fines in-person with check or cash at the Main Library or Point Branch locations. We are not able to accept payment by phone. Fines may also be paid online via the library’s SmartPay website using VISA, MasterCard, or Discover. A $1 convenience fee will occur for online payments. If you have questions about fines or fees listed on your account, please consult a library staff member before you submit a payment.
