Friendly reminder: Most items renew automatically up to three (3) times as long as no one else is waiting for them. You'll get a text or email notice when something can't be renewed, so you'll always know what's due back.
Good news — Anythink doesn't charge daily late fees. We just ask that you return items on time so everyone has a chance to enjoy them.
Here's how it works:
- After 25 days overdue, an item is marked as lost.
- If the item isn't returned within 48 hours of being marked lost, the replacement cost of the item plus a $10 collection fee is added to your account.
You can easily get a replacement card for free! Just stop by your local Anythink branch to report your library card missing, and we'll set you up with a new shiny card.
If you can't make it into the library right away to get a new card, you can login to your library account online and mark your card as lost. This helps protect your account until you pick up your replacement.
