Fees and Charges

LIBRARY CARDS:

     There is no charge for your first library card. We charge $1.00 for replacement of lost or stolen cards. Patrons outside the Library District must pay an annual fee of $95 to get a library card. This fee waived for residents of Multnomah, Washington, Clark, Skamania, and Klickitat Counties as well as the City of Camas (Washington) and the City of Hood River (Oregon).

OVERDUE and LOST ITEM CHARGES:

     There is no grace period after the due date of an item. Items returned after the due date will be charged the daily rate for the item type: Cultural Passes - $5.00 per day (up to replacement cost) Children's printed materials - .25 per day (up to $3) All other materials - .25 per day (up to $5) All items which require invoicing or further notification will have additional charges reflecting the labor cost involved. Billing charges are $10 for each letter for patrons with $10 or more in lost materials. Collection agency charge is $25 (30 days after billing letter) for $75 or more in lost materials.

REFUNDS:

Patrons who find and return Oregon City materials that have already been paid for receive a refund, with 3 conditions:

  • Payment must have been $10 or more
  • Payment must have been made in last 12 months
  • We deduct applicable overdue fees and a $1.50 service fee Patrons may “pay” for lost or damaged items by providing an exact duplicate in ‘like new’ condition.

There is a $2.00 fee charged for reinstating the item. No refund is due if the original item is eventually returned.

DAMAGES:

    An established table of charges dictates the cost to patrons for lost parts and damages to all library materials.

INTERLIBRARY LOANS:

     If the LINCC library system does not own the item we may be able to obtain it for you elsewhere via the interlibrary loan system. These are limited to 5 requests per week. Please make sure to pick up the items that you have requested as a considerable effort has been made to obtain them for you. There is no charge for this service.
