*If a book is damaged while you have it checked out, a damage or replacement fee will have to be paid. Please take care of your books, so this doesn't happen to you.
Broken binders cause a lot of book damage. After Winter Break, binder rings start to pull apart. If a book gets caught between the rings, the cover can be damaged.
Water and other liquids cause most of our book damage every year.
Dirty hands and crumbs cause a lot of damage to library books too.
