Library web pages have now been updated to reflect the recent policy changes to maximum fines blocking borrowing on Borrowing and Fines page and the lowering of the recall fine rate on the Recalls page.

The intention is that only fines of $30 and above will block new borrowing at both the Self check machines and at a library service desk.

Please remember that the real Horizon block is still set at $50 (in order to allow online renewals that would otherwise be blocked by fines) so this still means that fines between $0 and $49 will not trigger a reminder Max fines box in the borrower’s record at checkout.

A Library news item on the changes to recall fine rates has been posted.
