The cost to ship one (1) item is $8.50 and to ship two (2) items its $11.00.

Costs for return shipping are paid by you. We strongly suggest that you return items using a delivery service that provides proof of delivery. If we do not receive the books back and you cannot provide evidence of tracking and signature for delivery, you will be charged for the current replacement cost of the item or items.

The LOMAP LL is a service available for all members of the SBW, but has limited resources. The application insures that only authorized persons borrow materials from LOMAP LL and also provides an acknowledgement of your responsibilities and obligations.

No. Staff must complete a separate borrowing application which must be approved by you. Please notify us that you wish to approve borrowing by a staff member and we will provide you with the proper borrowing application to complete. You are responsible for materials checked out by your staff.
