Policy for Overdue,
Damaged, & Lost Library Materials
There are no overdue fines, but the patrons will be asked to
pay for or replace lost items. If the price of the item is not
known, the charge is $5.00 for paperbacks, $10.00 for hard covers.
Overdue notices are sent out on a regular basis.
Teachers should submit in written notice to the Librarian if
special arrangements need to be made for any KDES students having
financial difficulties. The Librarian may waive the fines if
the materials have not turned in more for than one year. Invoices for any outstanding items will be forwarded to the
Budget Office at the Clerc Center. top
For Gallaudet
University Students
Gallaudet University students must fill out a Gallaudet
University Student Registration Form. This form is available
at the Kendall School Library. In addition, a valid Gallaudet
University ID is required for checking out library books. The
borrowing period is three weeks with a limit of ten books. All
materials must be returned to the Kendall School Library prior
to the Study Day (see Gallaudet
University's Academic Calendar) before the semester ends
in December and May. No borrowing is permitted during the summer
and winter break.
If a book is lost or damaged, please notify the Kendall School
Library staff immediately. Books that are overdue for two weeks
automatically become "LOST" books. A replacement charge (value
of the item) plus a $10.00 processing fee per book will be added
to the Gallaudet University student's record. If books are returned,
the replacement charge is forgiven but Gallaudet students must
still pay the $10.00 fee per book. Invoices for any outstanding
items will be forwarded to The Gallaudet University Accounting
Office.
