Failure to return library items will result in the patron being charged for the cost of the item after 14 days of the item being overdue.
If a patron borrows an NSCC-owned item that will incur overdue fines if returned later, the patron will be informed prior to loaning the item.
Overdue materials on your account may affect your borrowing privileges at HELM libraries.
Failure to receive overdue notices does not remove the responsibility for paying associated fines and fees.

The cost of unreturned, lost or damaged material is the responsibility of the card owner.
