Yes, in some situations, there are fines for overdue items or charges for replacement copies of lost or damaged items. After you've borrowed an item, be on the watch for friendly email alerts from the MSJ Library that will remind you when to return items so you can avoid fines. In instances where items are not returned, overdue notices will be sent to your MSJ email account. If the overdue item is still not returned, then you will receive a bill for the item.
Fines in general:
MSJ Library, OhioLINK, SearchOhio items: $0.50/day until item is returned
