If a book is returned damaged to the Library, the User Services department assesses the damage sustained. A decision will be made if the book can be repaired or must be replaced. Patrons will be notified of any damage and the repair/replacement price will be added to the patron's account.
The standard replacement fee for books is $75.00 plus a $20.00 non-refundable processing fee. For more expensive books the library may charge a higher replacement fee.
