Replacement Fees
Lambton County Library collects fees for lost or damaged materials. Fee revenue is used to off-set the library's operating costs. The collection of fees is set-out in the Lambton County Library's Circulation Policy, the Overdue Accounts and Write Off Policy and the County of Lambton Services and Fees Schedule.
- Materials that are 30 days overdue be considered lost and a replacement fee will be charged to your account;
- Borrower privileges are suspended for those who accumulate account balances of $15.00 or more.
- If Lambton County Library is unsuccessful in collecting overdue account balances, your account may be forwarded to a collection agency for payment. An administrative fee is added to any accounts submitted to collection agencies.
