The fine for most overdue materials is 1.25 TL per item per day. Any items returned after the grace period will receive fines for the entire overdue period, including the grade period. An item that is four days overdue will thus be subject to a 5 TL fine.
For DVDs (per day), AV materials (per hour), or reserve materials (per hour), the fine is 2.50 TL per day/hour. There is no grace period for these items.
If a user loses or damages an item, s/he should immediately inform the Library via email, libcirculation@ku.edu.tr.
