Pay Fines & Fees

Delinquent Borrower:

Library cards with outstanding balances of $10.00 or more will be blocked. Individuals who owe the Library $10.00 or more in charges, and families (or individuals living at the same address) who have an outstanding balance of $50.00 or more, will have all library cards with that address blocked.

The Bartlesville Public Library uses a third party collection agency to secure unreturned materials and outstanding charges from customers who have not responded to notices. Accounts with items 45 days overdue and/or owing $50.00 or more in charges are turned over for collection. A $20.00 fee is then added to the account.

“Lost” items must either be returned or paid for before library privileges are reinstated.
