Fines for items returned after due date

 

Borrowers aged 16 and over are charged fines on borrowed items returned after their due date.

 

Unpaid fines and items not returned after notification has been sent to a borrower will enter ‘Default’ status.

 

If left unpaid these charges will eventually be passed on to a debt recovery service and incur an additional administrative charge of £10 and the borrowers card will be suspended from use.

 

Please talk to a member of staff if you are concerned about payment of fines or outstanding items.
