- After 60 days, books will be considered lost and students will be assessed a fine for the item or they are allowed to bring in a hardcover replacement copy of that book.
What happens if my book is lost/damaged?
- A book is considered lost once 60 days have passed since the original due date.
- Lost/damaged books must be paid for or replaced in order to clear student records by the end of the school year.
- Payments can be made via the LVUSD site, and a copy of the receipt must be brought to the library for the student's account to be cleared.
- Alternatively, exact cash can be brought to the library.
Does the Media Center | Library accept book donations?
