Materials
Patrons are responsible for all materials charged out on their membership. It is the member's responsibility to ensure the items are returned on time. (See also policies Lib-02-005 and Lib-03- 003).
The library will not charge for late fees.
If the patron fails to pay the required fees or fails to return to the library the damaged, or lost library materials, the Library Manager, shall take whatever action is considered necessary to recover overdue Library materials or the cost of those materials.
Damaged Material:
When materials are returned to the library damaged, a fee will be levied for the repair or replacement of the damaged materials.
Any major damage that involves either repair or replacement will have a charge levied of the cost of the repair or replacement to the patron.
The extent of the damage will be determined by the library manager.
Lost Items
An item is considered "lost" one month after the due date.
Patrons will be charged the replacement cost of the material lost.
When unpaid charges on damaged or lost items reach a total of $10.00 or more, the responsible patron will have their library privileges suspended until the outstanding charges have been paid in full.
If the item is found the library manager will return the replacement amount.
