via e-mail. Failure to receive overdue reminders
does not exempt you from the due date.
Items
not returned after 30 days from the due date
will be presumed lost. A lost book
fee of $60.00 will be automatically assessed.
This charge includes a $40.00 book replacement fee*

detailed bill will be sent to Staff member with
the expectation that prompt payment will be made
for the replacement of lost materials. Checks should
be made to "Saint Mary's College" and
sent to the library director for processing. Unpaid

privileges being restricted until the matter is
resolved. Materials

year after it has been billed will have the replacement
fee refunded.

about this policy should be directed to the Collection
Management Supervisor.
