English term or phrase: overdue
Overdue, such as when a book is checked out, and returned later than the specified date.

Is it ok to use fecha de vencimiento? To me that sounds more like what's on a milk carton. Is it ok for books, or what do you suggest?

neutral  Andy Watkinson: I don't think a date can be "overdue" - it's either the book itself, or the action of returning it, surely.

extemporáneo(a)


Explanation:
Devolución extemporánea, por ejemplo, pero se aplica a la devolución y no al libro.

Libros devueltos extemporáneamente.

Overdue books = libros no devueltos dentro del plazo señalado.
