Does anyone have a policy that addresses
how long a damaged item is held by the library? For example, a
patron returns a water-damaged item to the book drop and would
like to see proof that the item is damaged. We currently hold
these items in a couple of file cabinet drawers. This becomes
an issue for space and health reasons. Would be interested in
formal and informal guidelines as I am going about making
formal policies for our board to review.
Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,
Tracie Alger
