Overdue, Damaged,
and Lost Books

• Students are not charged fines for late and overdue books; however, students are encouraged to return books in a timely manner so that other Alcova students can enjoy them.
• If a book is damaged, please return the book to the Media Center as soon as possible so Mrs. Hervey and Mrs. Berry can assess the damage and determine if the book can be repaired.
• Fines for books that are lost or damaged beyond repair are as follows:
  • Paperback Books and Magazines - $5.00
  • Hardback Books and Longer Paperback Books - $15.00
• Fines will be marked on the student's Media Center account and can be paid via cash, checks made out to Alcova Elementary, or on My Payments Plus. 
• Students with overdue books or who owe fines for lost or damaged books will not be able to check-out any more books until the overdue books are returned or the fines are satisfied.
