FINES

You may pay your fines at the Circulation Desk by sending a check to us via the mail or by phone using a credit card. Call 606-783-2200 when the Library is open. The Library also accepts Beaker Bucks.

Reserve Items	$0.50 per hour
Laptops	$0.10 per minute
Cameras	$5.00 per day
Other equipment	$2.00 per day (up to the replacement cost of the item)

FINES OVER $50

When most users owe $50.00 or more, all library privileges will be suspended, and a hold will be placed on the university system, blocking the release of transcripts and class registration. This policy applies to community members when the amount owed is $10.00 or more.

LIBRARY HOLD

If a "hold" has been placed on your University account, you may pay your fine in the following ways:

Pay by cash, check or credit card at the Library's Circulation Desk, 1st floor.
Call 606-783-5490 and use a credit card.

LOST ITEMS

Any item that is more than 30 days overdue is considered lost. Patrons are billed $80 for each lost item. This includes $50 for each lost item plus a $15 service charge, plus a $15 overdue fine. If the "lost" item is returned, the replacement cost ($50) and service charge ($15) are dropped (unless the bill has been turned over to a collection agency), but the overdue charge remains.

COLLECTION AGENCY

After approximately 90 days, bills of patrons owing $50 or more are sent to a collection agency. Once bills are placed with the collection agency, the $50 credit for each lost item returned to the Library is reduced to $37.50.
