Pay a Fine / Fee


There are two ways to pay Library fines and fees.

In person - Pay by cash, check or money order at any Library location during regular Library hours.

Online - Use your credit card or debit card to pay online through our SmartPAY system. Things you need to know:

  • Library Card number and PIN are required to make a payment.
  • There is no service charge, but a minimum payment of $2 is required.
  • Visa, MasterCard and Discover credit cards are accepted. Debit cards must have a Visa or MasterCard logo. Some financial institutions may place a preauthorization hold on your bank account when you use a debit card to pay. The Library does not have any control over that hold.
  • Payments will be applied to your Library account immediately.
  • Credit card payments are not accepted in person or by phone.
  • No refunds can be made directly to your credit/debit card.
  • Payments will appear as SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY LIBRARY 559-6006285 CA on your credit card statement.
  • Your card statement is your receipt.
  • Contact Us if you experience problems with an online payment.
