Minimising Overdue Charges
- Return your items on or before the due date.
- Use the after hours chute at any branch for the return of items when the library is closed.
- Provide the library with your correct email address. You will be sent a courtesy email reminder notice a few days before your items are due to be returned.
- Renew your items before they are due. Items may be renewed once for a further three weeks online or at any library branch. All items may be renewed unless they are overdue or have been reserved by another borrower. You can perform renewals via the library website, The Hills Shire Library App or in-person.
- When you borrow, rather than taking a few items on each family member's card, try to borrow the maximum of 10 items on one or two cards.
- Going on holidays? Let a staff member know before you borrow and an extended loan period can be arranged.
Remember, talk to us before fines become a problem. We will be pleased to help.
Contact staff at any of the Hills Libraries for further information.
