Collection of Long Overdue Items
When an item is overdue one day, the library attempts to notify you either through telephone or e-mail. A notice is sent on Day 14 and day 30.

When items are not returned within 42 days after the original due date, the account will be blocked until the item is returned or until the customer speaks with a library staff member

    Cumberland County Public Library is committed to providing equitable access to materials and resources for our community members. We invite everyone to the library, and emphasize the importance of returning all materials so that they can be shared by all.
