Fees for Lost or Damaged Materials

Please return your books on time as a courtesy to other patrons. Having more than twenty (20) overdue items at one time or more than $30.00 in fees means that you will not be able to borrow more items until items have been returned and fees have been paid.

Western Counties Regional Library does not pursue payment for accidentally damaged materials that are returned by patrons. Items intentionally damaged will be charged the full replacement cost. The decision to charge a patron for intentional damage lies with the Branch Manager. Substitutions for lost or damaged items will not be accepted as a form of payment.
