Contact the Circulation Department so we can check your account and the Library shelves. We will search both buildings for your title and ask that you do the same of your home and car.

I think the video/DVD/CD/CD-ROM I borrowed damaged my equipment. Will you pay to repair it?

The Library accepts no responsibility for damage to any personal equipment caused by the use of Library materials. Some products automatically load or alter existing computer software, so consider backing up your system before use. If an item appears to be damaged or in poor condition do not place it in your equipment or attempt to repair it. Return it to the Circulation staff so it can be repaired or removed from the collection.
