journals will be held for three days. Materials on hold may be picked up at the

Overdue Policy
All borrowers - A courtesy reminder will be sent the day an item
becomes overdue.* A second notice will be sent a week thereafter. A bill will then be sent
indicating the replacement cost and the fines accrued. A fine of 50 cents per day per item
will accrue on all overdue materials. One courtesy reminder fine notice will be sent for
late returns. Checkout privileges will be suspended upon accrual of unpaid fines.
- Students - The MCG Registrar's Office will hold all student records,
diplomas, and registration materials until all Library obligations have been cleared.
- Faculty and staff - If materials have not been returned and fines paid
by one month after the due date, an invoice will be sent to the department of the
borrower.
- Membership borrowers - Library obligations will be invoiced. If not
paid, appropriate action will be taken.
*Failure to receive an overdue or fine notice will not be considered cause for
canceling a fine.
Lost Materials
Lost or misplaced books should be reported promptly to the LInC. Fines are not charged
after the loss is reported so the Library borrower may search for the material. Payment
must be made by the end of two weeks if the material is not located. Replacement charges
for lost materials include the current price of the item, a $15.00 processing fee, plus
any overdue fines which may have accrued before materials were reported lost. Refunds
cannot be made for any lost and paid materials which are subsequently located and
returned.
