Most items do NOT accumulate fines if you return them late.
We only charge fines for materials that circulate for fewer than 28 days. The fine for overdue two- and four-hour material is $1.00/hour the library is open. The fine for overdue 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day reserve material is $1.00/day the library is open. All other material with loan periods of fewer than 28 days is fined $1.00/day per item for each day the library is open. Individuals with outstanding fines or fees at any UW System library will have their borrowing privileges suspended.
Lost items are those that have been overdue for more than six weeks. Lost item fees include the cost of replacement, or if out of print, $60.00 plus a non-refundable $15.00 processing fee. These charges apply to each item lost. If a lost item is returned before payment is made, only the $15.00 processing fee is assessed. If a lost item has been paid for and is later found and returned within one year of payment, the borrower is reimbursed the cost of the item but not the processing fee. After one year, no fees are refunded.
You can pay fines and fees in the library with cash, check, or money order. We can only accept payments Tuesday–Saturday. You can make credit card payments for overdue and lost items via the Library’s Cashnet storefront
(https://commerce.cashnet.com/UWPLIBRARY). Please contact the library for instructions and the exact amount owed prior to making a transaction! Reach the Library Circulation department at 262-595-3432 or circulationlib@uwp.edu. Please ask to speak to a circulation supervisor.
