Change of processing fee and replacement cost

The processing fee for loss, assumed loss and damaged Library materials has changed from HK$30 to HK$50. In addition, the full cost of the item to be replaced will be charged for loss, assumed loss and damaged items.

 

Change of maximum fines for overdue Library materials
(Library Regulations 3.9.1, 3.10.3 and 3.10.7)

 

Effective from 1 September 2016, the maximum fines for overdue Library materials will change from HK$30 to HK$100 per item. The revised charges also apply to late return of Reader’s Cards and Borrowing Cards of other libraries.
