The Victorville City Library has eliminated overdue fines on all materials except for Movies and Video Games for all Library patrons. This move ensures that our public library is living up to its commitment to provide free and equal access to information, knowledge, independent learning and the joys of reading for our diverse community.

The Library encourages patrons to return books in a responsible and timely fashion to the Library so others may enjoy our shared resources.

While the Library eliminated overdue fines, Library users are still responsible for fees associated with the replacement of lost or damaged books and other materials they check out.

Under this new policy, it is important to understand the difference between late fees and replacement or damage fees. Overdue or late fines are the daily charges applied to items not returned by their specified due date. These are the fines that will no longer be charged to patrons. Replacement or damaged item fees, or just fees, represent the charges applied for lost, damaged, or unreturned materials and are still in effect. 

• Educational DVD's are FREE - 7 day check-out - look for the Neon sticker
• Entertainment DVD's are $1.50 - 3 day check-out
• TV Shows are $1.50 - 7 day check-out
• Video Games are $3.00 - 7 day check-out

When DVD's and Video Games are returned after the designated date, late fees are applied as follows:

• DVD's and Video Games - $1.50 per item per day

      We do not charge late fees on books or audio materials. 

• Books, Audio Books, and Magazines can be checked out for 21 days.
• DVD's can be checked out for 3 to 7 days.
• Playaway Launchpads, Playaway Views, and Video Games can be checked out for 7 days.

The Friends of the Library love getting donations of New or Lightly used books. Please call us prior to bringing donations to ensure we have space for your donations. We do not accept damaged books (broken bindings, missing pages, moldy and/or water-damaged materials or excessive writing in the text), encyclopedias, textbooks older than 5 years, VHS or Audio Cassette tapes, medical books or condensed books e.g. Reader's Digest.
