RETURNED CHECKS

The Scarborough Public Library participates in the Cumberland County District Attorney's Check Enforcement Program. There is a $75 charge on all returned checks plus amount of check plus any bank fees.

COLLECTION SERVICE

If an account is referred to a collection service for retention of library materials, the card holder will pay any collection costs incurred in cluding reasonable attorney's fees, filing fees and court costs if the matter is referred for prosecution. A person who knowingly fails to comply with the library policies concerning the return of materials may also be charged with a Class D crime.
