My book is overdue, help!

What if my book is lost or damaged?

For both scenarios, please contact the librarian. If the book is lost you will likely need to provide a replacement copy, unless told otherwise. If the book is damaged, the damage will need to be assessed to determine if a replacement copy is warranted.

The book I need is checked out, what do I do?
