We charge replacement costs plus $25 processing for all lost and damaged items, or if the patron can find a replacement cheaper than we can, then we'll take that. We have been loaning GPS units for over 10 years as part of our Technology Lending program. They aren't as popular as they used to be, but still get occasional use.
