Notifications
The Henrico County Public Library sends out email notices (if the customer has provided an email address) 3 days before an item is due. Notices regarding items that are 14 days, 35 days, or 60 days overdue are also mailed or emailed to customers. When an item has been overdue for 60 days, the customer is charged for the cost of the item and a $10.00 processing fee and is barred from checking out any further materials until the account is settled. If the total amount owed is $25.00 or more, the overdue record is forwarded to a collection agency. Non-receipt of these notifications does not clear late fees.
