just it from amazon. how much would it cost if i told the library i cannot find it at the moment? thanks in advance.

They get books at discount (or used to last time I lost one!), also they might not replace like for like, so I'd advise talking to them. I think they might freeze the fines for a while too, to encourage you to keep looking and hand it in if it turns up.

I lost a library book recently (by dropping it in the bath) and was given the choice of replacing it or paying them.
They were very understanding about it!

With fines my understanding max is £6 i.e. it is not unlimited. Come clean Im sure they will be reasonable

i lost my first library book ever late last year
i told them and had choice to replace or pay them to replace it
i replaced it and it was $8.99
they would hae charged me $10
so not much in it and if its difficult to source then let them take the strain.
they were really good about it
i reckon every day someone loses a book somewhere in the whole of the uk library system:)

I lost one a couple years ago and they wanted to charge me full pice (£21.99) to replace it. Go it off Amazon for £6.99

I lost one ages ago and they sent me the bill for a full price replacement! I'm sure if you talk to them they'll be a bit more reasonable?

I've lost one before (left it on holiday) and just talk to them: this happens all the time and they're used to it. It's honestly not a big deal to them, so don't worry about it, just go have a chat
