Loan Periods & Account Blocks
The Oberlin College Libraries do not charge overdue fines.
When an item becomes overdue, the borrowers account is automatically restricted from further checkouts. All overdue items must be returned or renewed to restore an account to good standing.
Students who leave Oberlin without returning library materials will be billed for the cost of replacement and processing.
Students may also face honor code and/or judicial charges for consistent disregard for library policies, lack of response to library notices, or other actions that interfere with others' use of the collection.
