How to Avoid or Minimize Textbook Fines1. Inspect your book for damage such as rips or tears on the cover or inside
pages, separation of binding, missing pages, graffiti, water damage or mold.2. If you see any damage, take your book to the textbook window during lunch.
Don’t try to repair torn or rip pages or binding. We will repair minor damages at no charge.
3. You have 5 days after checkout to report damage. If your textbook is damaged, you have the following options: a) exchange the book for a better copy if one is available. b) ask the textbook person or Ms. Rikansrud (in the library) to check that the book status is poor. Water damage needs to be noted.
4. Write your name on the inside cover of the book so you don’t confuse it with anyone else’s book.
5. Take your book home. Don’t carry it around in your backpack or store it long term in your locker. Every time you drop your backpack, you are damaging your book’s binding. During winter break, the building can get cold and condensation can form inside the locker which can lead to water damage.
6. Keep your book away from liquids and anything that could cause damage. 7. If your book becomes wet, even accidentally, you can replace it with a used
book that is in good condition. During lunch, check with the textbook person or Ms. Rikansrud to get the book ISBN number.
Word Count1.Count the number of words on five random full lines
of text (words must be 3 letters to count)2.Average those five numbers e.g. 9+8+11+10+9 =47
Then: 47 ÷ 5= 9.43.Take the average of that and multiplying by the
number of lines written. 9.4 x 30= 282
Scoring: 1-44 = 1 45-88=1.589-133=2 134-178 = 2.5179-223 = 3 224-268=3.5269-313 = 4 314-351 =4.5
352+ =5Target
