Policies & Procedures
Fines for Lost or Damaged Materials
Students are NEVER fined for overdue books. If a book is overdue, the student will check out one less book until the overdue book is returned.Â
Students should report damage to library books as soon as they notice the damage. This will allow the library staff the opportunity to get the book repaired and prevent the student from being charged for the damage.
Patrons will be charged for replacement cost for books lost or damaged beyond repair. The cost for each lost or damaged item will be the replacement cost of the book. If the book is found and returned, the patron will be refunded the amount paid or you may choose to keep the found book since after it is paid for, it is deleted from the library collection.
Charges and payments are processed through Infinite Campus in the Grant Wood Main Office.
