16 Miss. Code. R. 160.3.4
Users are responsible for the proper care and use of materials borrowed from the Library Commission and shall be charged repair or replacement costs in the event of damage to or loss of materials due to negligence. Individuals owing for lost or damaged materials may not borrow additional materials until such charges have been paid in full. Borrowing libraries are expected to pay for lost or damaged materials without regard to the library's ability to collect from their customer. The Library Commission reserves the right to reduce or waive charges for materials damaged or lost due to special circumstances, including an "act of nature," such as a fire, flood, or tornado. Documentation of the act of nature may be required before an exemption is granted. The Library Commission cannot refund payments for materials later found and returned.
Eligible users of the Blind and Physically Handicapped Collection who borrow NLS materials accept responsibility for using materials and equipment with reasonable care. In accordance with NLS guidelines, no charges may be levied for the loss or damage of NLS-produced books and equipment. Eligible users who lose or damage materials which were purchased with donated or State funds shall be assessed fees based on the current cost of repairing or replacing the item.
