After a review of its lost/damaged item procedures, OC Library has introduced some new criteria that applies to all OC Library users.
If OC Library determines an item lost or damaged, you will be charged the item’s current cost and a $20 processing fee. Processing fees do not apply to faculty/staff. The current cost of the item (new) is determined by the Library. If an item is returned in good condition within six months of being declared lost, the Library will initiate a refund for the current cost amount and retain the processing fee.

Just a reminder that an item is determined lost if it has been overdue for 30 days and not returned. The Library will make its best effort to contact users before an item is determined lost. Additionally, all library users will receive a notice in their Okanagan College email when:
- An item is close to being due
- An item is overdue
- An item is lost
Avoid fines and fees by returning your items on time, or renewing them prior to due date.
