Fines & Fees at Lake County Public Library

Cards carrying fines or fees will not be able to access the digital library, including Hoopla, Kanopy, and Libby. Here are the most common fines and fees:

Printing: $0.05/page

Overdue Fines: 
We are predominantly fine-free! Most items do not accrue daily overdue fines and will only generate a fine if lost (see Lost Item Fee below).

Only the following items will still accrue overdue fines to ensure their timely return:

• Bestseller Express
• Interlibrary Loan
• Book Club to Go Kits
• Video Game Consoles
• Video Games 

Daily Fine: $1.00 (max $10.00)

If overdue fines are preventing you from using the library, please let us know so we can help.

Lost Item (aka Replacement Cost) Fee:
A lost item is any item that has been overdue for more than 14 days or is reported lost by the borrower. The fee is the original retail price at the time of purchase.

Lost items may not be replaced by the patron in lieu of paying the fee. However, if the item is later found, we are happy to reimburse the lost item fee minus any overdue charges.

A lost item on your record will prevent you from checking out additional items until the fee is paid or the item is returned.
