Lost
Materials:
Library
and media materials are considered lost if they are not returned by the end of
the school year. Faculty are not
charged for lost materials since their use is usually confined to the
classroom. If a student’s materials are
considered lost, the following guidelines are used to calculate replacement
cost.
Hardcover
books- The
original retail price will be charged.
If the original price is unknown, the cost will be determined by the age
of the book and the replacement cost of a similar copy. An average cost of $7-15 will be charged.
There is a $2.00 charge for the replacement of barcodes.
Magazines- A charge of $5.00 or the
cost of the magazine, if known, plus $2.00 for replacement of the barcode and
envelope will be assessed.
Paperbacks- The original cost will be
charged plus $2.00 for the processing and barcode. If the cost is unknown, a standard fee pf $5.00 plus $2.00 fee
will be charged.
Damaged
Materials:
The
damaged materials must be brought to the library before an assessment can be
made. If the material is slightly damaged but useable, the student will be
warned and may be charged a reasonable fee.
If the material is damaged beyond repair, the student must pay according
to the guidelines established for lost materials.
