When an item is reported or assumed lost or returned damaged beyond repair, a fee is assessed on the patron's record.
Lost or damaged materials are assessed fees based on the following policy:
- The record for a cataloged item will indicate the cost of that item. This item cost is the replacement price in the event that the material has been lost or damaged beyond repair.
- A patron who has lost or damaged beyond repair an uncataloged item will be assessed a default replacement price as listed in the table below.
- In lieu of fines and only with supervisor's approval, cataloged materials may be replaced with an exact new copy of the item.
- Other Clevnet member libraries may charge processing fees in the event of loss or damage to that library's materials. These charges will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
- If an item is returned after payment was made, a full refund will be given. The returned item must be accompanied by the dated receipt received upon paying for the item within 60 days of paying for the item. The refund check will be mailed to the patron by the Business Office.
- MCDL cannot refund payment for a lost item from any other Clevnet library. Patron must contact the returned item's owning agency directly.
