*In lieu of the $100 book replacement fee, a patron may choose to purchase a replacement copy of the book themselves and bring it to the library. Please note that the replacement copy must be in New/Like New or Very Good condition or it will not be accepted by the library. New/Like New means that the book has never been used and has no signs of wear at all. Very Good condition means that the book has been well-cared-for and has seen limited use but remains in great condition. The item is complete (no pages missing), unmarked (no highlighting or notes written in margins), and undamaged, but may show some limited signs of wear. We advise that you get as much information as possible from the seller to ensure that it meets our condition requirements.
**For technology devices, the "Lost" fine varies based on the cost of the item, and direct replacement of lost devices is not permitted.
If the lost item is returned, the bill is reduced to include processing fees only.
