How much will I be charged if I return something late or lose an item?
We do not charge daily late fines, so there are no charges for any item you return late, once you return it. When an item is 31 days overdue we consider it lost and charge you for the replacement cost. We remove the charge for replacement when you return the late item.
E-books and audiobooks you download are checked in automatically when they are due, with no late fines.
If you lose an item let us know as soon as you can. If you are unable to pay the replacement cost, please contact us to discuss your options.
We will temporarily suspend your Library account when an item is 14 days overdue. When your account is suspended you will be unable to check out more items or use OverDrive, Kanopy or Hoopla. You can still place holds on physical items (but will be unable to check them out), use library computers, printers and scanners and access online resources when your account is suspended.
You can pay online with a credit or debit card through PayPal.
We also accept checks by mail at:
- Attention Borrower Payments, The Seattle Public Library, 1000 Fourth Ave., Seattle WA, 98104
See our Fees and Lost Materials page for more information.
Why don’t you charge late fines?
Thanks to the 2019 Library Levy, we were able to eliminate late fines. Late fines discourage people who cannot afford them from using the Library, and daily late fines have been proven to be ineffective in encouraging people to return items on time. As part of our commitment to equity and access, we try to remove any barriers to Library use. Many other major Library systems have eliminated late fines, including Chicago, San Francisco, and Denver. In our region, the Sno-Isle library system has not charged late fines for over 35 years, and Kitsap and Spokane county library systems have eliminated late fines more recently. To learn more about why we eliminated late fines, visit our No More Late Fines page.
What happens if I keep something past its due date?
We do not charge daily late fines, so there is no cost for keeping something a few days past the due date. We still ask that you return items on time, as others are often waiting to use them. You may renew most items up to three times if no one else is waiting. If an item is 14 days overdue, we will temporarily suspend your Library account until you return it. Suspended accounts cannot check out more items or use some of our digital media services. We consider items 31 days overdue lost and charge you for the replacement cost.
How many items can I borrow and have on hold at once?
You can borrow up to 50 items physical items at a time, and have 50 physical items you want to borrow on hold. You can borrow up to 25 OverDrive e-books or audiobooks at a time, and put 10 e-books or audiobooks you want to borrow on hold.
