           pages or spoiling the same in any other way will be viewed very seriously. In such cases, the last reader will be held responsible

           unless he/she shows to the Library staff, at the time of borrowing, that the book had been previously marked or damaged. In the

           event of damage of any kind, the last reader will be liable to compensate for damage or Book/s will have to be replaced.

          price of the book will be paid by the borrower.   If the book is not available in the market then the borrower has to pay the double   

          amount of the book price. (As newer editions costs more)
