Fines / Charges

Pemberton is a FINES FREE Library. Our policy is this:

Fines will not be charged for overdue items.
Materials may be renewed 3 times, if items are not returned by their due date, an overdue reminder will be issued at 7 days and again at 14 days. A third and final reminder will be issued at 21 days after which point the materials will be considered lost. The replacement cost will then be billed to the patron’s account.
Borrowing privileges will be suspended if patrons have reached the maximum renewals allowed on their borrowed items or if they have fees for lost items on their account.
Patrons can choose to receive email notices notifying them of overdue items and can access and manage their account online through the Library website.

Damaged and lost materials: you will be charged the replacement cost.
