Damaged / Destroyed / Lost material

Damaged / Destroyed / Lost material - please be sure to inform library staff if you feel that an item being checked out to you is damaged or fragile, so as not to be held responsible for damaged item fees. Library patrons are responsible for all material checked out on their record. The library cannot assume the loss of state property for items accidentally damaged, destroyed or lost while in the possession of the borrower.

Lost Item Fee - once the maximum fine is reached you will be billed a lost item fee:

Maag-owned materials: $11 for max fee + $10 for processing fee + price of the book;
Northeast Regional Depository materials: $11 for max fee + $10 for processing fee + price of the book;
OhioLINK materials: $50 for max fee + $100;

If you return the billed item, the lost item fee will be waived, but you will be held liable for the maximum fine and a billing fee.
