Payments
If you need to pay us for lost items or other charges, you can pay online with a credit or debit card. We also accept payments by mail. Please return overdue items and we will remove the charge for replacement. If you need help with Library fees, we will work with you to restore access to your account.
How to Make a Payment
Pay online: You can check your account balance and make a payment online. You can pay your Library charges using PayPal, a credit card or a debit card.
If you have fees for multiple items, you can select which fees you would like to pay, or pay all your fees at once.
