Library fines may be paid in person at any location of the Greater Sudbury Public Library.  Fines are charged on overdue items and accumulate on a calendar day basis.  The Library Board has set a limit of $10.00 in unpaid fines - when this $10.00 limit is reached, the library patron will lose his / her borrowing privileges.  Fines accumulate to a maximum of $10.00 per item.  Any revenue from library fines is added to the Library's operating budget.Please be aware that patron accounts with an outstanding balance of $50.00 or more will be referred to the credit bureau.
