Lost / Damaged Materials
Patrons are responsible for all library materials that they check out:
- If a patron loses a piece of a library item, such as a disc, they will be required to pay a replacement cost.
- In the unfortunate event that a patron loses an entire library item, such as a book, they will be charged the replacement cost for that item.
- If library staff determines that an item has been damaged beyond repair and will not circulate, the patron will be charged the replacement cost of that item.
- If the item belongs to another library, that library will assess replacement costs.
- Patrons are blocked from checking out if they owe more than $15.00.
