What is a "LOST" book?
What charges do I incur?
Will I be billed so I can pay later?Yes, the Library will email you a bill. These charges will be posted on your record as well and you will be informed by the Circulation Desk staff when you renew or charge out materials. What do I do if I find the book later?If you find the book before paying the lost book charges, bring the item to the Circulation Desk. You will be charged only the $10 overdue fine.
