What do I do if my library book has been lost or damaged?

No worries! These things happen. Please call your local library to let staff know about the lost or damaged book. Here's what you need to know:

  • If a WCPL item is lost or damaged, you'll need to pay the replacement cost of the item. Look for any lost items before paying the replacement cost – there are no refunds!
  • We can't accept replacement copies instead of payment.
  • If an Interlibrary Loan item is lost or damaged, you'll need to pay the lending library's fee.

A staff member can help you determine any costs associated with a lost or damaged book and arrange payment. The replacement fee of lost items will also appear on your account after the item ages into a long overdue status. These fees will clear if items are returned to the library.
