Lost Item 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 calculated as the price listed in our catalog record.


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.

Fee Card - Annual Charge

A Non-Resident Single User Fee card may be issued to an individual who resides outside the LCPL district upon payment of the annual fee.
