Stealing Library Books is the main Problem in Libraries.
Misplaced Books are another Reason for Loss.

Sir,
As I facing same problem, I think users of the library are not return the book in time or forgot to return the book or study material borrowed from library- this mentality is the main reason. I also observe that user those coming regularly in the college or institute they returns books in time, but the people those rarely coming in the college they forgot to return the books. I think college administration is also responsible for this problem. If they asks students to first return the books and then take their results, then I think some books can safely return to their home.
