Beginning June 1, 2007, a new library circulation policy will go into effect. As of that date fines equal to or greater than $100 will result in the suspension of borrowing privileges. Also, the fee for lost materials will increase to $100 per item or the actual replacement cost + processing fees of the missing item (if that amount exceeds $100).

To avoid any penalties:

• Return material on time to the library from which it is checked out.
  
• Ask any circulation desk attendant to print:
  
• a list of items which you have checked out with their due dates
  
• a list of library fines and fees which you owe
  
• Pay bills promptly to avoid accumulating fees.
  
• The Library Information Office (LIO), 201 Butler Library only accepts credit cards and checks. Barnard Library only accepts cash or checks
  
• Pay fees for lost items from any Columbia library at the LIO; for Barnard or Health Science Library materials, pay at their respective Circulation Desks
  
• Ask for a receipt when returning books.
  
• Respond to courtesy renewal notices promptly.
