Paying Library Fines

This guide contains Lincoln Land Community College Library's Fines and Fees Policies as well as instructions for paying these fines.

Fines Policy

Lincoln Land Community College Library does not charge daily overdue fines on most items.  Please see below for our Fine and Restriction Policy. 

  • Course Reserve & Loanable Technology Overdue Fines: These fines are applied to overdue items from the Course Reserve or Loanable Technology collections. Fines range from $1.00 per hour to $15.00 per day, depending on the item.

Examples of items that may incur overdue fines include laptops, hotspots, calculators, phone chargers, anatomy models, and course textbooks.

  • Lost Item Replacement Fines: These fines are applied to items that are 35 or more days overdue.  If this happens, students are placed on a campus-wide restriction (see below).  Replacement charges are determined based on the initial purchase price.  If the item is returned to us in good condition, all fines are waived and restrictions lifted.
