Currently, McFarlin Library does not charge fines on overdue books, however if the books remain unreturned the library will bill the patron for the materials (see below)

$1.00 per hour up to a maximum of $6.00. If materials are not returned, the actual or default replacement price will be charged.

Unreturned materials:

• Main collection materials: If a book becomes 3 weeks overdue, all patrons are billed for the replacement of the material (actual cost or if undetermined a default of $50.00), plus a $10.00 cataloging fee plus a $3.00 billing fee.
• Replacement cost of a reserve photocopy is $6.00.

When lost materials are returned after billing, patrons are credited with all replacement costs (except in limited circumstances).
