For additional information or inquiries regarding library accounts, please visit the library circulation desk or contact the library via phone or email.

Library Fees

Patrons who lose, damage, or destroy items will be billed for the cost of replacement as well as charged a processing fee of $5.00 per item. Patrons may not personally replace items that have been lost or damaged. 

Items overdue by greater than 45 days will be marked as lost and billed to the patron’s account accordingly.

All accounts with fees $10 or more will be restricted until payment has been made on the balance. A restricted account may not circulate library items including renewal of items or Course Reserve items. Fines on any account should be paid at the circulation desk. All student accounts with balances greater than $10.00 will be billed to their bte365官网地址 student account at the end of each month. At the end of each semester, remaining balances will also be billed to their account.

  • Recalled items not returned by the updated due date will be fined at the rate of $1.00 per day.
