Change in Overdue Procedures

In order to better serve our community, the Santa Fe Public Library has made some changes to our overdue procedures and schedule of overdue notices.

Patrons will be able to renew an overdue item, even from home, within the first 14 days of the overdue process as long as there are no holds.

Patrons will be blocked from checking out other items if any item becomes 14 days overdue.

A bill will be mailed to patrons via United States mail for long overdue items. The bill will include an estimated replacement cost.

The Library works to serve our users. When materials are long overdue, the items are not available for other patrons to check out. The Library does not have a large enough budget to be able to purchase extra copies of items that are long overdue. We appreciate your working with us to get books and other materials back in a timely manner.
