Lost or Damaged Items

If you lose or damage a library item, you will be billed $50 to cover the cost of the item and a processing fee. You will receive a bill for any material that is more than six weeks overdue. If the item is found within a year, you will be reimbursed for bills paid. Fees for lost Interlibrary Loan items are higher and not reimbursable.

If you elect to replace a lost or damaged item with an identical item, your bill may be reduced. If you have questions about how to replace an item, please contact the Circulation Desk in Axinn Library (516-463-5952).
