Thank you for the article about library fines in the Nov. 14 issue of the Tan & Cardinal. We did want to point out that our fine policies are different from the Westerville Public Library. Our fines vary depending on the type of material (book, DVD, equipment, etc.) and if the item came from our collection or OhioLINK. For example, the maximum on overdue fines for most of our books is $15, while the maximum on overdue OhioLINK books is $50. You can see more about this from our Web page under Library Policies.
Besides receiving emails before and after an item is due, you can also set up our texting service called Library Elf to alert you when items are coming due. To learn more about Library Elf and to set up your cellphone, please go to our Web page. If you have any questions, contact the Circulation Department.
Friendly regards,
Allen Reichert,
electronic access librarian
Lois Szudy,
library director
