Library users are responsible for all transactions made on their cards and are subject to overdue fines and any charges for lost or damaged materials. Lost cards must be reported immediately to prevent misuse.
Library borrowing privileges are suspended when outstanding fines exceed $10.00. Transcripts may be withheld until the student record is cleared.
You can check your Library Account for any outstanding items or fines.
