Damage Fees
Items damaged may be subject to a damage fee not to exceed the cost of the item.  Normal wear and tear by children will not be considered damage.

Late fees will be charged for items not returned by the due date.  A late fee of $0.50 per day per item will be charged, not to exceed the cost of the item.  The individual may purchase and return the exact item to the library or pay the replacement cost amount directly to the Partnership for Children of Wayne County.  Failure to return materials or pay for them will result in denial of library privileges.  Early Learning Resource Center members who carry late or replacement fees will not receive training certificates for the training’s they attend until all fees are paid.  If payment is not made within six months, all Partnership  privileges may be revoked.  If an item is lost from a kit, the accountable party has 5 days to return the missing item before being billed for the replacement cost.  Late fees may be waived in extreme cases.  A $10.00 handling fee will be charged for returned checks in addition to any NSF fees charged (usually $25.00), plus the original amount of the check.
