Q. What will happen if I return a book late?

Pius Library does not charge late fees/overdue fines.

Overdue reminder notices for books from Saint Louis University Libraries are sent by email and post when books are 5 and 15 days overdue. After 30 days, overdue books are assumed to be lost, and the borrowing patron will be billed for replacement of the book. The cost is no more than $120 per lost/damaged item. Overdue notices for MOBIUS loaned books are sent when books are 7 and 14 days overdue. After 28 days, overdue books are considered lost, and the borrowing patron will be billed a lost book fee.
