For Juveniles (Patrons under the age of 18) there is a $3.00 fine limit. For Adults, the fine limit is $5.00. Those with fines above this amount may not take out items, use our public computers, or put holds on items in the Mid-York catalog.  Once your items are returned or replaced, your account will be cleared.
