These include the following collection subgroups:

Overdues
Fines will not be charged.
If an item is not returned within 4 weeks of due date, the greater of $25 or the actual replacement cost will be charged.
If a borrower accrues $100 in charged replacement costs or has more than 2 items overdue, borrowing privileges will be suspended until overdues are returned, replaced, or paid for.

See Connecticut State Library Interlibrary Loan (ILL) for details and procedures. Other patrons should consult their local public library to place interlibrary loan requests.
