could result in having your loan privileges suspended for one month. Repeated violations could
result in permanent suspension of media loan privileges.
Overdue fines are based on the number of items. Each album is barcoded and so, counts as an
item. One album containing several CD's, tapes, etc. has one barcode and counts as one item,
but when a title requires two or more albums, fines are applied to each.

the whole set.
