How to Pay Fines and Fees via Credit Card Online
Patrons can pay for fines, photocopies, printing and all other library charges using our online system.
To access, please visit our Library Services page, and sign in with your library card and PIN number.
Once signed in, click on “My Account”, and select “Fines and Fees” from the dropdown menu.
Click on “Pay Your Account Online” to start the payment process.

Collection Agency Payments
Customers can make payments to the library.
Partial payments may be made but if not paid in full within 120 days, the account will still be referred to the credit bureaus.
All payments are reported daily to Unique Management Services.
Accounts sent to the credit reporting agencies will be removed from a customer’s credit history once the account is cleared at the library.
Customers must contact the credit agency reporting the record of debt, and neither Unique Management nor the Library is authorized to request changes to their credit record.

Credit reporting

  • Unique Management Services is a material recovery service. It is not a credit reporting agency. After 120 days, even if partial payments have been made, Unique Management Services submits the delinquent account to credit reporting agencies, which make the information available to credit grantors such as mortgage companies and banks. All payments are reported daily to Unique Management Services.
  • Showing a debt as “paid” on a customer’s credit report is not the same as “expunging” the debt from the customer’s credit report.
