Patrons are responsible for replacement charges and billing fees for lost or damaged items. The Library does not accept materials that patrons purchase as replacements. When purchasing materials, the Library determines their appropriateness according to our collection development policy, chooses correct editions and appropriate bindings, and satisfies all licensing requirements. Replacement charges owed by Keene State College students will be transferred to the Bursar’s office for collection every month, with a $5.00 billing fee added to the replacement charges at that time. If a student returns a billed item after the charges have been sent to the Bursar, the Library will waive a portion of the fees.

The Library charges the following rates for replacement, a figure which includes both processing and overdue fees:

Audio CDs: $37.00

Audiobooks: $120.00

Books: $65.00

DVDs/VHS: $45.00

Laptop Computers: $2000.00

Green Bike - $60.00

Lock / Key - $20.00
(Charges are subject to change based on current material prices)
