Fine Free Frequently Asked Questions
The Gail Borden Public Library has recently gone Fine Free for all materials. Please read our Frequently Asked Questions section on what this means for you.
Lost Materials
You will be charged for library materials that are not returned to the library or are lost. Replacement fees vary, depending on the cost of the material.
Refunds are not given for Lost & Paid materials. If you find the lost item that you have already paid for, you may keep it.
If you have lost a Linkin or ILL item, please contact the customer service desk before paying.
