Lost Item Replacement Charges
- Although the library does not charge overdue fines, all patrons remain responsible for replacement costs for any items they are unable to return or renew within 30 days of the due date.
- All items not returned within 30 days of the due date are considered lost, and the appropriate lost item fees will be automatically assessed to the user's account. Users who find and return lost items will be refunded the lost item replacement fees already paid. The lost item processing fee ($5.00) is non-refundable, except in those cases where the library's records have been determined to be in error.
- Please note: All outstanding library lost book fees are due and payable, in full, by the end of each semester. The library reserves the right to transfer collection of user's outstanding fines and fees to the Berry College Business Office in the event of non-payment at the library.
