Fines and how to Avoid them

 

You now get 12 auto renewals on books.

You can avoid fines by  returning items by their due date. Don't forget to collect your receipt when using the self-issue and return machines.

Fines will be charged when:
  • You have reached your maximum (12) renewals.
  • When another borrower has placed a request on a book that you fail to return in time.

 

Current Charges

After final-auto renewal date - 50 pence per day.

After book has been recalled by another user - £1 per day.
