Any patron who borrows materials from the Colfax Public Library is responsible for returning them in good condition by the due date. When the patron reports a lost or damaged item, that patron will be asked to make restitution to the library by paying for the replacement or restoration in a timely manner. If a patron refuses to pay for the material, he/she will no longer be able to use the library services until the payment is made. In the case of the patron being a juvenile (under 18 years old), the parents or guardian are responsible for payment for the lost or damaged materials. 

 

The patron is required to pay replacement costs when the materials are beyond repair, such as videos, DVDs, CD-ROMs and cassette tapes that are no longer usable. The library staff will determine the replacement cost of materials utilizing the following guidelines:

 

Patrons who pay for lost library materials will not be refunded these costs if the items are returned at a later date.
