What happens if a book is not returned by the due date?

Students who do not return materials on time will receive an overdue notice 
through their classroom teacher.  No late fines are assessed through the 
Janney Library unless the item is lost or damaged.
When a student receives such a notice, he or she is expected to return or 
renew overdue materials immediately.  When an item is more than one month 
overdue, it will be considered lost, a letter will be mailed home to notify 
the parents/guardian, and the student will be asked to return, replace, or 
pay for the item at that time.

replacement and steps that can be taken to fix the situation.
