Overdue Materials
As a courtesy to others in the Hamline community, please return or renew all materials promptly.
You will receive courtesy notices through your official Hamline email account only! You will be charged for overdue materials.
Your library record will be blocked if you have an overdue item and you will not be able to check out additional materials. Your student account will be billed $65 for each item not returned on or before the due date. The billing timeframe may vary for items checked out from other CLIC libraries, so to be safe, bring your books back on time. (HUSC DVD's and CD's are billed when they are 3 days late) At that time, the item's status is changed to "lost". When you return the item, you may or may not be credited $50; however, the $15 processing fee is non-refundable
