Pay Fines
Fines
Kuna Library is FINE-FREE!
We do not charge fines for overdue items, however:
- Items still have due dates, and we kindly request that they be returned by the due date so that other patrons may check them out.
- Automated reminders are sent for overdue items.
- If items are not returned, the patrons’ account is charged for the replacement cost of the items and a $5 processing fee per item.
Fees
- A lost or damaged item resulting in the replacement of the item will be assessed a replacement cost plus a $5.00 processing fee.
- Accounts with non-returned (lost) items with accumulated charges (cost of replacement and $5 processing fee per item) of $50.00 or more will be turned over to a collection agency after 90 days. The library account will be blocked until collection agency account is cleared.
- Accounts with damaged items with accumulated charges (cost of replacement and $5 processing fee per item) of $50.00 or more will be turned over to a collection agency after 90 days. Items returned by the patron but still in collections will be disposed of after 1 month. The library account will be blocked until the collection agency account is cleared.
- Patrons who present an NSF check will be charged a returned check fee of $20.oo plus the amount written on the check. These fees will be added to the patron’s account and must be paid before library privileges are reinstated. In addition, patrons may lose this payment option and be restricted to using cash or a cashier’s check as payment on the account.
Lost and/or Damaged items
Items that are lost or damaged require replacement, which is the responsibility of the patron who borrowed the item.
Patrons are required to pay for the replacement of lost or damaged items and a $5 processing fee for each item.
Terms of Proper Card Use
- Responsibility for items checked out on a card falls to the account holder (or his/her legal guardian).
- Patrons must report lost/stolen cards immediately.
- There is a $2.00 replacement fee for lost cards.
**Items borrowed from Lynx Member Libraries are subject to permissions and fees set by the owning library.
