LATE BOOKS The due date will be stamped

in each book to help students avoid late fines.

The fine for overdue books is 10 cents per day per book up to a fine cap of $5.00 per book.

MAKE AN EFFORT NOT AN EXCUSE Students owing fines for late books will have

one week to make a payment before check-out privileges are lost.
