The following fines will be charged for overdue materials at the White Pine County library:
Adult and juvenile materials (including books on tape) | $0.05 per item, per day | |
Videocassettes | 1.00 per item, per day |
The first overdue notice will be sent fourteen (14) to twenty eight (28) days after the due date of the materials. If the materials are not returned twenty eight (28) to forty five (45) days after the due date a second notice will be mailed and the patron will be called. If the materials are not returned forty five (45) to sixty (60) days after the due date a third notice with a letter will be sent to the patron. The letter states that Nevada Revised Statutes 379.160 makes them criminally liable and the patron is responsible to pay the cost of the library material and a three dollar ($3.00) processing fee for each book if the materials are not found. If the materials are not returned within two (2) weeks of the third notice, a letter will be hand delivered by law enforcement with a specific date by which the materials must be returned. If the materials are not returned by the date mentioned in the hand delivered letter, the patron will be issued a citation under section 8-4-1 of this chapter.
All White Pine County library circulating materials have a seven (7) day (dating from the original due date) grace period during which no overdue fines will be collected. After the grace period is up, overdue fines will be computed from the due date. There is no grace period for videocassettes. (Ord. 607, 7-6-2005)
