Items not returned
Late materials will be considered lost starting 41 days after the due date, and a replacement fee will be charged to your account. If the item is returned within one year of the due date, the fee will be removed from your account.
The replacement fee is nonrefundable, even if you find the item after paying the fee. Instead of paying the nonrefundable fee, you may be able to supply the library with a replacement copy (certain rules apply). Please contact library staff before purchasing.
