How much are fines?
Answer
Clemson Libraries will be going fine free on most items, effective 1/1/2022.
This means that we will no longer charge overdue fines on books, CDs, DVDs, and other regular circulating materials that are considered part of our main or children’s collections. Certain specialty items such as library technology, interlibrary loans, testing materials, reserves, and Park Passes will continue to accrue fines. Item replacement fees and recall fees will also remain.
This change is a part of an institutional movement from libraries nationwide, guided by the recommendations of the American Library Association, in an effort to increase access to library services. By eliminating most fines, our library is removing barriers and making access easier, more equitable, and enjoyable for everyone.
