If you are affiliated with the university (student, staff, faculty, administrator), you are in the Library System and will be able to use the library services until you leave the university. Your Tech ID is your library card. Cards must be presented when checking out all library materials. Alumni and courtesy patrons must fill out a paper application and present a valid ID to create an account. They will then receive a library card. For any questions, call (479) 508-3321.

Renewals

Most loans can be renewed once within your loan period.  You can renew online before the due date by logging into your [library%20account]library account or by coming to the front desk to make a renewal request.  Renewals are not possible once the due date has passed.  You can however, bring the item in and check it back out as long as there is not a hold list for the item. 

 

Library Overdue Fines

The Ozark Library will not charge patrons overdue fines for items returned late.

 

Lost Items

Generally circulating items which are not returned within 30 days of their original due date will be declared LONG OVERDUE.  The following charges will then be assessed to your library account:

• Lost Item Fine: $10
• Cost Replacement Fine: varies based on cost of the item.

 

Additionally, your library account will be blocked and you will be unable to check out additional items unless the long overdue items are returned or your bill is sent to Student Accounts.

 

If the long overdue items are returned to the library within 30 days, all charges will be waived. 

 

If the long overdue items are not returned within 60 days of the original due date, the items will be considered LOST.  All assessed fines will then be billed at Student Accounts.  Patrons who return materials returned after this point will not be eligible for refunds.

 

Damaged Items

If you return items damaged, you may be assessed a Cost Replacement Fine for the cost of the item.  Replacements will be accepted on a case-by-case basis.

 

Paying Fines

The Ozark Library does not accept payment directly.  All fines are payable at Student Accounts via check, cash, or charge.  If you have unpaid fines on your library account, you can request that they be billed to Student Accounts for payment.  Once fines have been billed to Student Accounts, your library account will be cleared of charges and all blocks will be removed.

 

Appeals:

If you have a special situation that made it difficult for you to return or renew materials on time, you may appeal the charges on your library account or at Student Accounts by emailing the Head of Ozark Library: kmoore36@atu.edu 

Once fines have been paid at Student Accounts, no refunds will be issued—no exceptions.
