Responsibilities - Boise Public Library

Loan Limits, and Overdue Items

The following chart shows the length of time items may be checked out, how many of a particular type of item can be checked out at one time, which types of items can be renewed, and how often they can be renewed. It also shows the fine rates, and grace period. Please note that items which have been reserved (placed on hold) by other customers cannot be renewed.

Customer accounts are blocked from renewing items if there are fines of $10.00 or more on the account, if the library card has been reported lost or stolen or is expired, or if there is information in the account that requires updating. If your account is blocked or your items are overdue, visit or call one of our locations during regular business hours and a staff member will assist you.

How to renew an item

Overdue Fees

If you have an overdue fee to pay, bring in the item and your library card. You will be asked to pay the fee at that time. You may pay by cash, check, money order or debit or credit card. If the item has already been returned, you may mail a check, call in your credit card, or come in to any of the libraries in the LYNX! Consortium to pay your overdue fees.

Interlibrary loan fees and due dates are set by the lending library.
