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.
