Lost or Damaged Items
Items not returned by the assigned due date will be listed as lost and a replacement fee will be charged to the borrower.
Damaged material will be evaluated and individuals may be charged a replacement cost for the item.
Refunds
If an item is found and returned within 90 days of payment and a replacement has not been purchased, we will refund the cost of the item, minus a $10 processing fee. Refunds are subject to the approval of the Library Director. Overdue fees will not be refunded. If an item has been found, but we have already purchased a replacement, we are unable to offer a refund. You may keep the item.
Suspension of Privileges
Patrons will not be able to check out materials (including technology) if they have an overdue item or existing library fines. Students with overdue materials or fines will have a hold placed on their account. The hold will remain until all financial obligations have been cleared.
