Overdue and Unreturned Materials

No late fines are charged at Barksdale Library; however, as a reminder, students and community borrowers will receive four overdue notices when library materials have not been returned by the due date. The first four notices will be sent to the e-mail address on file.  When the fifth and final notice is emailed and snail mailed, the student account will be blocked, which means they will not be able to receive a financial aid refund, register for new classes, or obtain an official college transcript until the library materials have been returned or replacement costs have been paid.  The unreturned materials are considered lost and a replacement cost is added to the student’s account.  The replacement cost reflects the purchase price of the materials.

DCC student and community borrowers who have overdue materials checked out to them cannot borrow additional materials until all overdue items have either been returned or paid for if lost or damaged beyond repair.  If community borrowers had materials overdue for more than 60 days past the due date but returned them, they will not be allowed to check out materials for a period of 30 days after the overdue item(s) has been returned or paid for.    

Please note that according to The Code of Virginia, unreturned library materials are considered a theft of public property of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
