• The replacement charge for lost or badly damaged materials will be the price of the item, if known, or a minimum of $50.00 per book and $60.00 per video, whichever is greater.  Replacement copies presented by patrons will not be accepted.
• Patrons who generate a bill at Hartfield Library will have checkout privileges revoked until the missing items are returned and/or all related costs are paid.  Moreover, students who neglect to take care of this matter before the end of the respective semester will not be allowed to register for classes in any subsequent semester.
