What is the term for the notice sent to remind a borrower to return held-over due material?

• A. Overdue notice
• B. Charge
• C. Chart
• D. Realia

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding of library notices that prompt return of materials. When an item is held beyond its due date, libraries send an overdue notice to remind the borrower to return it, and often to warn about potential fines. It’s specifically the reminder notice, not a fee or a catalog item. A charge is the late fee, not the reminder itself. A chart is a diagram or list, not a notification. Realia refers to real-world objects used for instruction, not a notification. So the correct term is overdue notice.
