cost of the item. The reprocessing fee is non-refundable. ALL Library users are charged for lost or damaged books
checked out on their IDs.

If only the covers are damaged, you are billed for the re-binding cost of the item.
Student "Holds" and Loss of Borrowing Privileges
The Library will place a "Hold" on the registration records of students with long overdue materials or unpaid Library
fines. This "Hold" prevents students from enrolling, receiving a transcript, or graduating. Borrowing privileges can
be revoked for abuses.
Any person who removes material from the Library without authority, damages, or fails to return Library materials can
be prosecuted for Library theft under Oklahoma Statute 21-1739.
Community Borrowers Privilege
Non-students can purchase a Community Borrower's Card for $25 a year. This allows them to borrow 5 books at a time.
Videotapes and other audiovisual materials may not be borrowed.
Borrowing privileges will be revoked if books are not returned by their due date.
