Pay a Late Fee

Patrons are liable for any fees/fines associated with their account, and on accounts of patrons 17 and under for whom they are legally responsible. Fines can be paid at any service desk and are charged for each day that Beloit Public Library is open. Maximum fines are $5.00 per item with no overall maximum fine limit per BPL card. A BPL card may not be used for checkout when fines reach a total of $10.00 or greater.

If you have questions about fines or overdue notices, please look in the online catalog, ask staff, or call 608-364-2905.
