Replacement Fee for Lost or Damaged Library Materials
The Woodward Library charges replacement fees for lost or damaged materials to maintain the collection and to continue providing essential resources and services for the Austin Peay State University (APSU) community.
Policy
The goal of the Woodward Library's Circulation Policy is to ensure the availability of materials for all Library users.
The replacement fee for any lost or damaged Library item is the actual cost of the item plus a processing fee of $20.00.
The replacement fee and any holds on the borrower's account if applicable, are waived only upon return of the original library materials.
Procedures
Cash or check fee payments can be made at the Access Services Desk or the University Business Office. Personal checks must show the APSU student ID number or the Library Courtesy Card number. Credit or debit card fee payments must be paid at the University Business Office. Library account information is available by signing into PeaySearch.
Appeals may be made to the Circulation and Information Commons Supervisor.
