Returns/Overdue Notices/Lost Items

Materials may be returned to any public library in Central Massachusetts. Returned items must be processed and are not available for immediate check-out. Overdue notices are mailed approximately two weeks after material is due. The library normally sends overdue notices via e-mail, or by a postcard that lists overdue materials by title, or occasionally telephones. Lost and paid items must be returned within one year from the due date to receive a refund. When returned, accumulated fines from the due date are deducted. Paid items returned more than one year after the due date are not eligible for a refund. 

Patrons must bring their library card to enable full borrowing. As a courtesy, when a pratron forgets their card, two items are allowed upon proof of identity.

BORROWING PRIVILEGES ARE REVOKED IF LIBRARY MATERIALS ARE NOT RETURNED IN GOOD CONDITION OR IF FINES ARE NOT PAID.
