Don't forget, when you return items to the library, they go into a 7-day quarantine before being checked back in. That means They will still be listed on your account. You may get an overdue notice from the library.... You will see fines on your account. After the 7 days, we will check the items back in, and the fines and items will come off your account. Sometimes this can take a little longer than 7 days, depending on how many returns we get - we checked out over 18,000 items in October, which means we checked in just as much! You can always contact us if you have any questions or concerns about your account. 705.745.5382 ext. 2324 [email protected]
