   Most libraries tend to stop the fine when it reaches
cost of the book plus handling.  I lost one book, and the
Fairfax county library told me that they would be happier
if I got them another copy than just paying the cost.
 They could not count on the purchasing department to buy
them another copy.    Of course your library might be
different.
