Circulation policies

Unplanned closings

Sometimes the library must close unexpectedly for inclement weather, power outage, or other events beyond our control. In these cases, we make allowances for materials with due dates during the closed period. These changes are made once we have reopened, so overdue notices and fines that the system automatically generates will continue to accumulate, but will be adjusted later. (Regular fines will apply on days when there is a delayed opening.) After we have reopened, Circulation staff will adjust due dates and remove fines; please allow a few days for these adjustments to be made.

If after this time has passed you still have fines on your account, please submit a Fine appeal form so we can check your account and follow up with you. Check My Library Account anytime you have questions about the status of materials on your account.
