OVERDUE BOOKS
The Saint Joseph School Library does not assess fines for overdue books.  However, we ask that students return their books on time each week.  Repeated failure to return books may result in a discipline notice.

LOST OR DAMAGED BOOKS
In the case that a library book is damaged but still in salvageable condition, a student will be charged a damage fee of up to $5.00.  For lost or irreparable books, a student will be charged for the replacement value of the book.  All fees are billed through the FACTS system.

Questions should be directed to Mrs. Heather Brown at h.brown@sjschoolva.org.
