LOST MATERIALS

Materials overdue by 30 days may be considered "lost".  Lost materials are assessed at the market rate for replacement, plus a service fee of $15.  Charges for further handling, such as binding may also be added to the total replacement cost. 
Payment is due at the library within seven days of the “final notice”.  If not paid at the library, charges are sent to the business office to be added to the student account.

Guest patrons who are assessed for a lost book lose all circulation privileges until bill is paid.

Long overdue fines and lost book assessments may also result in suspended privileges.
