In order to practice good stewardship over the property of Trinity College, the following circulation and fines policies are enforced by the staff of the Library. At the end of each semester, notices will be distributed so that faculty, staff, and students are aware of the deadline to return library materials and pay any fines and/or lost item fees. If items are not returned, a replacement fee will be charged at the end of the semester.
Overdue / Lost Items and Fines:
Any library materials not returned and any library fines not paid by the announced deadline each semester will result in a hold on your account and/or college transcripts. Fines and/or lost item fees can be paid in person at the library with cash or a check made out to Trinity College of Florida. Debit and credit card payments can be made in person at the college Business Office located on the second floor of the Administration Building. When paying at the Business Office, please be sure to take a copy of your library bill. If you need another copy of your bill, please go to the Circulation Desk in the library to ask for one.

Center Library's Objective Number Five is “to acquaint library users with diverse viewpoints.” The purpose of this form is to give you an opportunity to express concern about library materials, which you may find objectionable. When a library staff member receives this form, the offending material will be removed from the shelves. Specific offending portions will be reviewed by the Library Director and/or Vice President for Academic Affairs. Depending on the results of the review, the materials will be either returned to the shelves or withdrawn from the collection. You will be notified of the results of the decision.
You can pick up a Reconsideration Form from the Library Director.
