* - Items which have been requested by another person cannot be renewed.

** - If you return an item to the Elmhurst Public Library within three days of its due date, you will not be charged a fine, because the item was returned within the established "grace period." If the item is not returned or renewed by closing time of the third day of the grace period, a fine will be charged for each day past the due date including the three days of the grace period.

*** - New DVDs are those purchased by the library less than 3 months ago.

NOTE: Items borrowed from other libraries may have different loan periods and fines.
