Please go to the service desk in the lobby on the first floor of Hangzhou Library and ask the service desk librarian for advice. Generally speaking, all libraries in the world will compensate readers for lost books, but the amount of compensation stipulated by each library is different. The reason why readers get compensation is to protect taxpayers' public property from losses and be responsible for public interests; On the other hand, it is also to protect the reading rights of other readers. Because all the new books purchased by the library need to be processed, including processing fees and material fees, the compensation amount is greater than the book price. All books in Hangzhou Library contain RFID chips, which can facilitate readers to borrow and return books by themselves and help librarians locate books on the shelves. The unit price of this film is relatively high, so the compensation amount is also relatively high. But you can negotiate with the staff to see if you can buy your own books and give them to the library, and pay the chip and book processing fees, so your compensation may be less. Of course, as one of the best libraries in China, the fundamental purpose of Hangzhou Library is to provide free services for readers. Maybe you can get a more humane and satisfactory solution. Good luck!
