Overdue Fines
STLCC does not charge daily fines for overdue materials. However, a bill for the replacement cost of an unreturned item will be sent to the student after they have already received two overdue notices. If the material is not returned or paid for, students lose their library borrowing privileges.
Lost or Damaged Items
All borrowers are required to pay the replacement cost for each lost or damaged item. For books borrowed from other MOBIUS libraries, there will be an additional non-refundable $25 processing fee.
Refunds for Materials Lost and Paid
A full refund will be given for STLCC materials that are returned within one year. There are no refunds for lost and paid materials after one year.
