Lost & Overdue Materials
LOST BOOKS: If you have lost a book and would like to replace the book yourself rather than paying the full replacement cost contact the Teacher-Librarian’s first and they will let you know if that is possible or not. The condition of the replacement copy must be “very good”.
OVERDUE: Books that are overdue accrue .25¢ a day up to $5 per book. You will receive email reminders to your UGCloud mail before your library book is due and if it is returned late you will receive another email letting you know the overdue fee.
OVERDUE FOR MORE THAN 2 MONTHS: All books overdue for more than 2 months are considered lost and the replacement cost will be charged to your account. If it is returned you will need to pay the overdue fine amount of $5. That fee is waived if you pay for the lost book.
DAMAGED BOOKS: If you return a book that is significantly damaged you will be charged the replacement cost of the book. We will let you know what this is.
PAYMENTS: We offer two options:
- Cash – receipts can be given
- Cheque – made out to Westside Secondary School
