Policies by Format
| Format | Lend | Copy | Loan Period | Renewal Period | Terms for Replacement Copies | Restrictions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Book | Yes | Yes | 56 days | Lost or damaged materials will be billed for the replacement cost as listed in our ILS or commercial retail, whichever is lower. The ND State Library does not charge late fees or additional processing fees. Once an item is reported lost or damaged by the Requesting institution, or moves to lost status in the ILS, a billing statement will be generated and mailed to the Requesting library. Please remit any payments via check. Refunds may be issued up to three months after proof of received payment. Replacement items may only be accepted with approval of the Patron Services Director and then only items with an identical ISBN to the lost item. |
