Policy for Lost or Damaged Library Items
William Hessel Library
To ensure that library materials remain available for all users,
it is necessary for the William Hessel Library to pursue delinquent
borrowers. Students, staff, faculty, and community patrons are
responsible for lost materials and materials damaged beyond repair.
LMC students: When a LMC student has been notified of overdue
materials and has not returned them, a block will be placed in
BANNER on the student's records. For functions such as obtaining
grades, transcripts, etc., the student will have to contact the
Hessel Library to resolve the problem and to have the block removed.
The intent of the block is to retrieve library materials for use
by others. In the event that materials are lost or damaged beyond
repair, the Hessel Library will require payment or replacement
to release the block.
Library items are considered lost when 30
days overdue.
Lost or Damaged (Beyond Repair) Charges - includes $10.00 cataloging
fee and fine of $5.00 assessed for lost items:
- Books in main collection $50.00
- Children's $45.00
- Paperback Fiction $20.00
- Paperback Nonfiction $25.00 (may be higher as this type can
range in pricing)
- AV materials $65.00 (but may be higher amount if part of a
series or kit.)
- Reference books $75.00
- Reserves $65.00
- ILL $90.00 (Or higher if the lending library
charges more than $90)
- Damaged magazine issue $25.00
- Damaged bound magazine volume $45.00
(Some books will be a higher amount if work is by or about a
well known artist or photographer - exhibit catalog, compilation
of their works, etc.)
As an alternative and with the librarian's permission, an exact
replacement copy; or, if still currently available, a new copy
from amazon.com, not third party, may be purchased and brought
to the library ($5.00 fine and $10 processing fee per item will
still be charged). This alternative does not apply to Interlibrary
Loans. Those replacement fees are at the discretion of the lending
library.
