Overdue, Lost, and
​Damaged Books

Fines: No daily fines will be charged for books that are overdue and returned.

Notices: Once the books are considered to be overdue, our system sends an email reminder. If you would like your email added to your child's library account, please email the LRC Associate in your child's school requesting that your email be added. Please be sure to include your child's name and school with your request.

Damaged books: Students will be responsible for  paying a replacement fee for any books that are damaged beyond repair or continued use in the LRC. The building LRC Associate will use their best judgement when determining replacement fees.

Lost books: The borrower will be charged the cost of replacement as determined by current publisher list price. If the item is out of print, the cost of a reasonable substitution of the same type, quality, and content will be charged. This item will be determined by the LRC Associate and LRC Facilitator.

Any lost of damaged library materials not paid for will be added to the district school fees at the end of each trimester. If the materials are returned to the library in useful condition within 30 days of the receipt of payment, that payment will be refunded in full. No refunds will be authorized after the 30 days of receipt of payment.
