WAC 495B-168-030. Fines

In cases where damage or loss of library material occurs, the patron will be assessed the replacement cost and processing fees. When materials are not returned, or fines not paid, holds are placed on the borrowing privileges of those involved. When expensive or valuable items are involved and reasonable attempts to advise and notify the debtor have been made, outstanding fines and fees may be assigned to a collection agency (RCW 19.16.500 ).
