RPL is no longer charging late fines for library materials.  

When you borrow materials, you'll still have a due date. You won't be charged if you return your materials within 30 days of the due date.

• Items that are kept 30 days past the due date are considered “lost” and your account will be billed for their replacement.
• If you have $25 or more of lost costs on your account, you will also be restricted from borrowing any more materials. If you’re borrowing something from another library, their financial threshold amount will apply to you, even if you are an RPL cardholder.  
• Don’t worry: charges and restrictions will be removed when you return the overdue materials in good condition. Note: only the expiry of your library account will block access to our digital services.
• We’ll notify you when your items are coming due. Notification preferences can be changed in My Account.
• You can also login to your account online to see when items are due.  
• Most library materials can be renewed, as long as no one else has a hold on them.  
• If you have multiple fines on your account, you can choose which ones you wish to pay. However, each individual fine must be paid in full.

We recommend renewing your items if you want to keep them longer. Once you're finished with your materials, return them so others can enjoy them.
