The Keyano College Library does not charge overdue fees to Keyano College staff and students for items borrowed from our collection. Please note that items borrowed from other institutions may result in overdue fees being added to your library account.
In the case of lost or damaged books, a financial hold may be placed on a student account. When the outstanding items are returned to the library, or the replacement fee has been paid, your account will return to good standing. If you have questions or concerns about a financial hold placed on your account, contact us via email or chat.

Borrowed material can be returned in person during our regular open hours or through the book drop located outside the library doors.

All fines for Keyano College items will be waived upon return.
