We are pleased to anounce that the University Library will no longer charge routine fines of $0.20 per day on overdue library material. We view this change as yet another way to support students in their use of library collections. Courtesy reminder notices are emailed 5 days prior to due dates and many library materials are renewable online.

Normal loan periods for Brown students:
Graduate students have two loan periods: academic year and summer loan. For undergraduate students, books borrowed in one month are due on the last day of the following month. Most material is renewable online at: https://library.brown.edu/patroninfo~S7.
Library charges:
No daily fines for regular overdue materials.
Fine for overdue recalled material: $1 per day.
Fine for overdue course reserve material: $0.50 per hour.
Replacement charge for lost library material: $150, as below:
Library material that is more than 30 days overdue will prompt a JOSIAH bill for $150 per item ($125 for the material + $25 processing fee). If the bill is not addressed promptly, the bill is sent to the Bursar for collection and the $25 fee is not refunded when the billed item is returned.
