Vacation loan periods may be requested at the time of checkout and they are double the usual loan period. Items that normally check out for one week will be checked out for two weeks, and items that normally check out for three weeks will be checked out for six weeks. These items are not renewable since they have been checked out for the regular period with a renewal built in. Call or e-mail us for an extended loan - 541-917-7581.
Fines
Fines are charged for overdue materials based upon the current fee schedule. Patrons may continue to check out library materials until they have accumulated $5.00 in charges. At that point, patrons will not be permitted library privileges until the fines are brought below $5.00. If overdue items are returned before the fifth day overdue, the patron will not be fined for the first four days. (This is a four-day grace period.)
Fines for overdue library materials are:
For all materials $.20 per item per day; to a maximum cost of material or $5.00, whichever is lower.
