2. Late fees are .10 per day. The late fee cap is $5.00. If the student does not return the book, then the student is only charged for the book (late fees are erased if the book is lost or damaged). If the student does return the book, then they would only owe the late fee charge.
3. Damaged or lost books are replaced at current cost, plus a $2.00 fee for replacement for the bar code, book cover, and due date slips.
4. Students may check out three books at a time. If late fees reach $5.00, then no books may be checked out until the fine is reduced.

6. At the end of the years, fines are transferred to the financial office.
