We’re Fine Free
Fountaindale Public Library District no longer charges daily late fines on overdue items. Even though we no longer charge late fines, we encourage you to please return materials in a responsible and timely fashion so others may enjoy the shared resources we provide.
Three Days Before Due Date: We will send a notification three days before and three days after your item(s) is due.
14 Days Overdue: Your library card will be blocked, suspending your borrowing and meeting room privileges.
28 Days Overdue: Your library account will remain blocked, and you will be billed the replacement cost of the overdue item(s).
42 Days Overdue: Your account (if more than $24.99 in replacement fees) will be sent to the collection agency. A $10 non-refundable collections fee will be added to your account. The item must be returned or paid for in full, and the non-refundable $10 collection agency fee must be paid in full to unblock your library card.
