* Per day/per item
** Per item

If a person’s fines reach $20.00, various privileges including borrowing of materials, use of items within the library, and use of iBistro are suspended.

A courtesy reminder is made three times after items are due. If fines are not paid or materials not returned, patron’s accounts may be turned over to a collection agency. If an account is referred to a collection agency, there is an additional $10.00 collection fee.

The Code of Iowa Section 714.5 considers materials kept longer than two months prima facie evidence of ‘intent to deprive’.

Refunds will be given for lost items that are found and returned in good condition within 6 months of the loss date.

HOLDS & BOOKDROPS

Place a Hold

Holds can be placed on nearly any item that circulates at the library. For most accounts, you can have up to 20 items on hold at any one time. You can be notified by email, telephone or mail when a reserved item is available for pickup.

Items can be held at any of the Metro Libraries regardless of where you live. In our Catalog, you can place holds on existing items as well as items that are on order or that are being processed by our cataloging staff. Once a hold has been placed on an item, you can access your account online to see your position in the hold queue.
