Dear friends,
Trinity School does not charge faculty for overdue or lost books; the
misplaced or lost books are occasional, and the good well generated, more
than makes up for the occasional lost book. Faculty even occasionally
donate books they have purchased personally or from classroom budgets.

Hi BAISLers,
What is your library's policy regarding faculty/staff overdue books? When
does a faculty/staff member's book go from just "overdue" to "missing,
needs to be replaced"? When a book does get replaced, do you charge the
faculty member individually (payroll deductions, etc.) or do you charge
their department's budget?
At Drew there historically has not been any due date for faculty/staff,
and there was no charge for replacing any items (the library just
repurchased the book out of its budget). I plan to move away from that
model, and it's always helpful to know what is typical across BAISL before
I go into any policy meetings.
Thanks for your help!
