Q |
What if my student damages a library book? |
|
A |
Accidents happen. All books in need of repair need to be returned to the librarian as soon as possible. If the damage to the book is minor and can be repaired, every effort will be made to repair the book. If the damage cannot be repaired then the book will need to be replaced. Students will be charged the replacement cost of the book. Students with outstanding charges will not be able to check out another book until the damage charges have been paid. |
