Damaged and Lost Item Fees

In 2021, at the direction of the County Board of Supervisors to update the fee schedule, Library staff conducted a study of the amount of staff time it takes to process damaged and lost Library materials. As a result of this process, the County is instituting $5 lost item fee and $10 damaged item handling fee. When items are returned in good condition, the fees should be removed. Additionally, no late fees are being charged for items turned in late.
