Late Materials Fines and Fees

Lost and Damaged Item Fines and Fees  

Fines and fees may be paid by cash, money order or certified check. Personal checks must be $5.00 or more.

Patrons may be blocked from borrowing items if they have overdue items or fines.

Delinquent accounts will affect your ability to register for classes or obtain a transcript.

We are always interested in suggestions for books and media that:

• Support class assignments
• Help with assignment preparation 
• Increase student learning

If a JCTC Learning Commons does not have an item you require, you may be able to borrow it from another library through Interlibrary Loans. 

• Allow at least two weeks to receive the item. It may take longer!
• Usually there is no cost for interlibrary loans. If the item is available only from a library that charges a fee, the Learning Commons tell you the cost before ordering the book or materials.
• If you lose, damage, or keep a book past the due date, you are responsible for fines or fees.
