The Medford Public Library is not currently fining for overdue materials, and we don't plan to resume until we have moved into our new building in the fall of this year. At that time maximum fines on Adult and Young Adult books, magazines, and CDs will be $5.00 per item. Children's books, magazines and CDs max out at $3.00 per item. All DVDs carry a maximum fine of $15.00 and museum passes carry a maximum fine of $30.00. Any item that is more than 30 days overdue is assumed to be lost (by our network computer system) and will be billed at a replacement cost, which varies per item. Once those materials are returned they would be fined at that item's maximum charge.
The max fine is the replacement cost of the item. Patrons can also provide us with a new, unopened copy of the item (often ordered from Amazon.com). -MC, Media Services Librarian
