Overdue Notices and Billing

Overdue notices and billing
At the library, it's all about sharing. Materials that are kept out for long periods of time are not available to other library users. A small number of library users (fewer than 1 percent) do not return library materials or pay for their replacement. To efficiently handle these situations and reduce the amount of tax dollars spent locating or replacing missing items, the Oshkosh Public Library uses Unique Management Systems (UMS) to collect charges for unreturned library materials.

Fines

The Oshkosh Public Library Board of Trustees voted on July 30, 2020 to discontinue charging late fines for overdue materials and remove past fines from patrons’ library cards. We are excited to take this step, which will remove a significant barrier to library use, especially for some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Read about the board's action.
