Notices, Bills and Fines

Salve sends a Courtesy Notice a few days prior to an item due as a reminder. All other notices are sent when items are overdue.

FIRST NOTICE: sent seven days after due date of material not returned.
SECOND NOTICE: sent fourteen days after the first notice.
THIRD NOTICE (BILL): mailed seven days after the second notice. This is a bill.

Rates for billed salve material: $60 per item.

Bills may be paid at the Business Office. Bills are expunged if material is returned to the library within a reasonable time period. Patrons are not reimbursed if they find their library materials after paying bills.

All bills must be paid before students can access their transcripts or receive their diploma. In addition, unpaid bills will sanction patron's use of other HELIN Libraries.

Rates for billed material from other HELIN libraries may vary. Some institutions within the HELIN Consortium do charge fines for overdue material.

Any bills or fines incurred from other HELIN libraries must be paid directly to the lending library. Salve does not collect fines or bill fees incurred from other HELIN libraries.
