The library operates best when all patrons cooperate for the timely checkout and return of items. Depending on the preference noted on the patron's account, patrons will receive an email, phone call, or written notification via the U.S. Postal Service from the LINCC system, 5 days after an item is due and then again 30 days after the due date. Bills for lost items are sent via the U.S. Postal Service 45 days after an item is due. Fines begin accruing the day after the material is due. In accordance with LINCC policies, fines remaining on an account after 30 days will be deemed "uncollectible". The library may impose fines or charges as provided in O.R.S. 357.975 and as set forth by the City of Canby's fee schedule adopted annually by the City Council in the event that a person willfully refuses to return library items.
