• Sometimes returned items are not the ones you originally checked out and belonged to someone else. 

• Sometimes an item is returned but fined for lateness or damage. 

• The bookkeeping software & your library account are not connected. Once you have paid your library account will only be cleared if you:

  • email or show your payment receipt to library staff

  • ask the bookkeeper to notify the library of your payment (but this is dependent on her ability to do that; do not assume she will unless she has told you that).
