If fines are incurred, please pay them at the service desk.

6. Rules for Compensation for Lost Books

If a book is lost, the reader can choose to either compensate with replacement book or pay a monetary fine. Compensating with a replacement book is preferred (Requirements: Please purchase an authentic copy from a legitimate bookstore. The original book title, author, and publisher must all match exactly with the lost one. A higher - edition version is acceptable). For monetary compensation: the amount of compensation for a lost book (in yuan) = Original book price × 3. Before making compensation, please confirm whether you will replace the book or pay a fine. Once the fine is paid, it cannot be refunded.
