Broadview residents who are library card holders will not be assessed late or overdue fees on items returned after their due date.
The Details
This is a new benefit for BPLD cardholders. All transactions must be conducted at our location in Broadview. Overdue items returned to other locations within our system may require overdue fees be paid at that location. Additionally, the Library will not refund fees paid at other locations or online, so please be sure to conduct all library business at the Broadview Public Library District in Broadview.
Patrons remain responsible for fees for lost or damaged items, no matter where incurred. Also, if the item is kept six weeks beyond the last approved due date, patrons will receive a bill so that we may replace the item in our collection. To avoid this automatic bill, please return items as close to on-time as possible.
What This Means for Patrons
Current cardholders who have late fees on their record will have the slate wiped clean. We are doing this on our end, but if you come into the library it can be done that much quicker.
Fees for lost or damaged items will remain on the record. Please stop in to discuss the charges on your record. See Cheryl Miller, Customer Service Manager, for additional details or if you have any questions.
