The fifth and sixth floors of the AOK Library are designated Absolute Quiet areas at all times.  If you need an environment free from talking, cell phones, or any other noise sources, these are the floors for you!  Library staff walk through the area periodically to enforce quiet rules, but you can also report violations to the Security Desk at 410-455-2331 or Circulation Department staff at 410-455-2354.

What’s the next step? We’ve all been there - sometimes the date slips your mind, and next thing you know you’ve got overdue library books!  So what happens next?

First off: don’t panic!  The fine for late books or DVDs is only $0.50 per day!  Other fines, like for laptops and equipment, are a little higher.  You can check the full list of fine amounts here: http://library.umbc.edu/circulation.php#fees  

If you can’t get to the library immediately, try renewing the item.  You’ll still have the original fines, but you’ll stop accruing more.  (Note: not all items can be renewed.  For example, a recalled book cannot be renewed this way.  But it’s worth a try!)

When you’re ready to pay your fine, head to the Check Out Desk. Payment options are Campus Cash, credit card, or check. (Note: you can only pay your bill at the library for the first 30 days.  After that, the Student Business Office takes over.)

Do you have a question about your fine?  You can contact the Circulation Department for answers at 410-455-2354. If you would like to appeal a fine, please fill out the Library Fine Appeal Form.

Food is allowed in AOK Library and the RLC.  Drinks are too, but in a covered container please!  We do ask that you avoid pricey equipment like photocopiers, printers, computers, microform readers, the Digital Media Lab, and Special Collections.

Spills sometimes happen - please clean up as best you can and alert library staff so they can check books and furniture for damage. Paper towels are available in the bathroom if you need them.

And when you’re finished, toss your trash in a bin!  There are several on each floor.  Happy studying!
