Returns

All library materials may be returned to any PPLC library.  However, you are responsible for materials until they are checked in at Oldsmar Public Library.

There is an outside book and video/audio drop for your convenience after hours. 


Unpaid fines/non-returned materials
The Oldsmar Public Library is working with a collection agency to assist in recovering non-returned library materials and unpaid fines. All unresolved accounts will be turned over to Unique Management Services, Inc. and an additional charge of $10.00 will be added to the balance.


Why is this policy necessary?
The Library is committed to provide service and materials that meet patrons' needs. Materials not returned become unavailable for other patrons to borrow. If materials are not returned, money from the library budget is used to replace them, rather than purchasing new items. Patrons who fail to return library materials after repeated reminders are guilty of stealing from the library. Fortunately, only a very small percentage of library users do not return materials as agreed. This policy will not affect the vast majority of patrons who return materials on time
