Overdue fines. The standard overdue fine accrues
at the rate of 50 cents per day up to $100.00 per book
plus a $15 processing fee if the item is declared
lost. This fine is non-refundable.
Recall fines. The recall fine is $2.00 per day
up to $50.00 and is non-refundable. Recalls
are fined at a higher rate to encourage prompt return
of items
that are in high demand.
General Libraries fines accrued by Emory students are sent
to the Bursar's Office. Fines accrued on Chemistry
Library books are paid at the Woodruff Library Circulation
Desk. Fines on books from another library must be paid at
that Library's Circulation Desk.
Avoiding Overdue Fines
The Circulation Department's goal of no overdue books
insures that books are available to all Emory borrowers. The
following pointers will help you avoid accruing overdue fines.
- At check-out, a receipt including the title of the circulating
item(s) and due dates is printed and given to the
borrower. Use the receipt as a reminder to plan your return
of books.
- Overdue and recall notices are sent at regular
intervals. PLEASE READ THEM. If you have any questions,
call us.
- Don't lend your ID or library books to a friend.
This is the number one factor leading to accrued
fines. YOU are responsible for all items charged
out on your ID card.
