I am being charged for damage to a book I had checked out. I don't think I did cause the damage. You are responsible for the condition in which you return any library material checked out in your name. If you see any damage, tell the circulation desk assistant about it right away. The library staff does check the condition of all material being returned.
Any damage is noted in the record, and repaired if possible.
If the staff finds damage that was not previously noted, you will be held responsible for it. There is a single charge that is assessed for lost or damaged items. The amount of the charge does not vary according to the amount of damage or the replacement cost of the item.
