Overdue notices are delivered primarily by email or <br />automated telephone 14, 28, 42 and 56 days after an item is due. Overdue notices <br />are sent as a courtesy and failure to receive a notice will not be considered grounds <br />for waiving a fine. After six months all overdue items will be declared lost and the <br />patron will be charged for each item. <br />E. The Safekeeping of Materials <br />Patrons are responsible for the safekeeping of materials checked out on their library <br />card. <br />1. Lost Materials <br />Patrons who lose materials will be charged the list price of the book at the time <br />it was purchased plus a $5 processing fee. Items are considered lost after 6 <br />months. <br />Damaged Materials <br />When materials are damaged, there will be a charge for the repair of the item or <br />the cost of replacement plus a processing fee if the item cannot be repaired. <br />These costs will be determined by the library staff depending on necessary <br />repairs. The Costs Associated with Repairable Damage chart will be referenced <br />for costs associated with damaged materials, and may be found below. <br />3. Replacement Copies. <br />The library will accept replacement copies of lost /damaged items that meet the <br />following criteria: <br />• The replacement item is new and unopened (in the case of media <br />replacements) <br />• The replacement item is identical in format to the item lost /damaged, <br />including format (hard or soft cover), ISBN number, edition, etc. <br />Library staff reserves the right to refuse any replacement item that does not <br />meet the standards above. A processing fee of $5.00 per item will be charged to <br />the patron's account upon acceptance of replacement items. Any replacement <br />charges for a lost /damaged item will be waived upon the acceptance of a <br />suitable replacement item. <br />To ensure a replacement copy is acceptable, patrons are strongly encouraged to <br />consult a library staff member before submitting an item for consideration. <br />Cabarrus County Public Library Circulation Policy -- 5 <br />Approved by the Cabarrus County Public Library Board of Trustees 311012011; rev. 711912012; <br />rev. 911912013; rev. 512112015 <br />Attachment number 1 \n <br />F -6 Page 76 <br />
