Return borrowed items on time to avoid fines and to ensure that other library users have access to the materials they need.
With the exception of lost Medical Center Library books, Law Library books, and art equipment, fines payments are processed at William T. Young Library, Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 3:25 p.m. Credit cards and checks are accepted.
Payment plans are also available for borrowers. Please contact us at refdesky@uky.edu for options.
Please return overdue library materials to the Circulation Desk in person during library hours.
After 45 days overdue, the library system will declare an item lost and assess a default lost replacement cost to your account. If a lost item is later returned, the replacement cost will be removed at the time the book is checked in.
If an item is returned in a damaged condition, the library will determine the cost of repair and charge accordingly. For items that cannot be repaired, the library will charge the borrower for the replacement cost.
To avoid paying replacement costs, you have the option of replacing the book on your own. It must be the same edition as the lost item and in good condition. Please contact the library for the item's ISBN number.
