Borrowers ask the desk
Do borrowers pay?
No. Borrowing is free. Lost books are recorded with the reason and a replacement note.
Who sees my loan history?
The branch volunteers on duty and you. Nobody else.
Can a book be recorded as lost?
Yes, after a review by two volunteers, and the record stays visible.
