Fees

Fine Free

Lambton County Library is proud to join hundreds of other libraries across North America by eliminating late fines on overdue materials.

  • All existing overdue fines in all cardholder accounts have been cleared;
  • Overdue fines will no longer accrue on borrowed materials returned after their due date;
  • Borrowed materials will still have due dates to ensure timely access for all cardholders;
  • Replacement fees for damaged or lost items will still apply.

Are you looking for other ways to support the library? Donations are always appreciated. Donations can be made in-person or online.

Replacement Fees

Lambton County Library collects fees for lost or damaged materials. Fee revenue is used to off-set the library's operating costs. The collection of fees is set-out in the Lambton County Library's Circulation Policy, the Overdue Accounts and Write Off Policy and the County of Lambton Services and Fees Schedule.

  • Materials that are 30 days overdue be considered lost and a replacement fee will be charged to your account;
  • Borrower privileges are suspended for those who accumulate account balances of $15.00 or more.
  • If Lambton County Library is unsuccessful in collecting overdue account balances, your account may be forwarded to a collection agency for payment. An administrative fee is added to any accounts submitted to collection agencies.
