Library Policy Update

We are attempting to account for the SFCP library’s overdue, lost and missing items before our move to 444 Natoma Street. If you have items that are overdue, please return them to the library as soon as possible. Much staff time and library resources have been used in an attempt to retrieve our overdue and missing items. As well as being of great monetary value, these lost resources have immense intellectual value to other patrons. Many of them are out of print, of a specialized nature or are difficult to obtain elsewhere. Reluctantly, SFCP will need to move forward with an implementation of library fees in the near future in an attempt to offset the high cost of material retrieval and replacement. Please note the library’s current policy, as stated below and included on the SFCP website:

“If a library book or other circulating item is not returned by its due date, we will attempt to notify you by phone or email. If we do not hear from you within four weeks after we have contacted you, we will assume the book is lost. We will send you an invoice detailing the cost of the missing item, plus a ten percent charge that will help to offset replacement costs.”

Please contact the library if you have any questions or concerns.
