Returning borrowed items on or before the due date is the obligation to all readers. Library has no responsibility to inform readers about their overdue, oral or e-mail reminder by our staff is a courtesy act only. Readers should always be conscious of the due date.

A user's borrowing privileges will be suspended when he or she has any overdue items. The current charge for each overdue item is MOP3.00 per day per item.

Library will issue three overdue notices to the borrower. The notice will be issued after the 15th due days, the 25th due days and the 35th due days respectively. When the items are not returned within fifteen days after the third notice, the Library will assume that the user has lost the outstanding items. Therefore, a maximum overdue fine of MOP150.00 will be charged. At the same time, all library privileges for that user will be suspended until all fines are settled.

For each lost item, the borrower is responsible for paying the full value of the replacement, a handling fee MOP50.00, and an accumulated overdue fine accordingly.

If the user loses or damages a borrowed item, he or she should immediately report to the Library. An overdue fine at the rate of MOP3.00 per day per item will be automatically charged to the lost item after its permitted loaning period expires. The maximum overdue fine of a lost item, however, is MOP150.00. At the same time, all library privileges of the borrower will be suspended until all fines are settled.

For lost or damaged library items, the borrower is responsible for paying the full value of the replacement, a handling fee MOP50.00 and an accumulated overdue charge if applicable.
