We are enjoying our resources but there is a piece missing! What should I do?

Please let us know as soon as possible if there is a piece missing or a damaged piece or part, we can then record this, so you are not fined upon return. 

If you have however lost or damaged a piece from a resource you will be charged a small fine to replace this, if we are unable to replace it from our extensive range of replacement pieces then you will be charged the full replacement cost of the resource as outlined in your Membership Agreement.

 

My resources are due back, but we can’t make it in today, what should I do?

Give our friendly team a call or send an email to our coordinator to let us know. If we know when they are being returned it is all ka pai!

My resources are overdue, what happens now?

As per your Membership Agreement, if your resources are overdue you will be required to pay all overdue charges as without the resource back in the Library, we are losing revenue from it
