Please note that once a lost book has been paid for there are no refunds unless the book is found and returned the same day as payment.
The library may, at the Circulation Supervisor's discretion, refuse the return of books which have been damaged and charge the patron for replacement.Faculty are not charged daily fines or restocking fees, but are expected to compensate the library for the cost of any lost or damaged materials. Faculty with overdue materials will be blocked from most library services.
