Starting September 11, 2019, SPL will no longer charge daily, incremental fines on most overdue library materials. Patrons remain responsible for returning library materials in good condition and in a timely manner.

Failure to return library materials will result in:

• Account is charged the cost of the overdue materials
• Account will be blocked from checking out other physical items
• Account could be sent to collections until items are returned (subject to $12 collection agency fee)

Daily fines for certain overdue items will still be assessed:

• SearchOhio items: $.50/day up to $25
• OhioLINK items: $.50/day up to $15
• Interlibrary Loan: $1.00/day up to the cost of the item
