Here is an excerpt from our Circ Policy. We are a day school, however, thought you'd like to see another example.
Lost or Damaged Materials All library users are expected to cover the cost of replacing a lost or damaged item. Replacement cost for a lost book will be requested after 30 days and after a search by the student and the library staff has been made. It the lost item is found and returned in good condition, the student will be reimbursed. Check-out privileges are suspended and transcripts and/or report cards withheld at the end of the year until the replacement cost of a lost or damaged book has been received. Replacement Costs: Replacement cost for a lost item or an item that is damaged beyond repair (water damage, defacement, pages torn out, etc.) is determined by the actual cost of the item, if found in library records. If the price of an item or its replacement cannot be determined, the following replacement costs, which include the cost of the item plus processing, will apply: Hardcover Book.........$20 Reference Book.........$40 Paperback Fiction......$10 Paperback Non-Fiction..$20 Oversized Art Book.....$50 Videotape..............$40 Periodical (Lost back issue)...$1 Damaged books that need minor in-house repair...$3 Maureen Reister Director of Libraries Solomon Schechter Academy of Dallas 18011 Hillcrest Rd.
