Library Fines and Fees

How To Pay Library Fees

While most of the library's services are free for you, there are fees for damaged or lost items. Keep your account in good standing by either paying for lost or damaged item, or providing an exact replacement copy in good condition. If you have an outstanding balance on your account, your library account may be blocked. Please e-mail circmail@jhu.libanswers.com with any questions. 

Students

  • Students make all payments for fines less than $10 at the Service Desk with a check.
  • The Library sends fines of $250 or more to the Student Account office, who will invoice students and provide more options for payment.

Staff, alumni, community borrowers
