What happens if I lose a book or other item I've borrowed?
If you lose an item you should contact the library as soon as possible so that you are not charged fines on that item. If you still cannot find the item you will be asked for a charge based on the cost of replacing that item and taking into account its age. Please note that if the item was overdue when you reported it lost you will be charged the outstanding fines.
