Recalled Item $2 per day ($25 max)
Course Reserves $2 per day ($25 max)
Borrow Direct/Interlibrary Loan $130 replacement fee when 7 days overdue

(Fines listed by item type)

30 Days Overdue* $130

*Items from Yale Library that are overdue will not accrue fines until they are 30 days overdue, resulting in a $130 fine. The $130 charge will be refunded in full upon return of the item.
