If any student in your college has left without clearing the dues, then it is the responsibility of Admin dept to recover his/her dues.
Keep all such communication in the stock verification file.
You have to forward a proposal to your Principal on the books borrowed by the student including its total value etc, get it signed by the principal.
Also, send a copy of the proposal to ADMIN dept.

Fines and miscellaneous sources: Some libraries impose fines on the late return of books as well as for loss or misuse of books. Income from this source is very meagre. As a matter of fact, it cannot be considered as a source of income, because the aim of the fine is not to raise revenue but to compel the user to return the borrowed book in time and not to damage or lose it during his/her possession. Moreover, libraries may not have the authority to re-appropriate amount collected as fine or overdue charges for any purpose.
Libraries and information centres normally have post-audit by external/central/statutory auditors, who usually look into the loss of reading materials, irregularities in procurement processes and outstanding advance payments and supplies.

Dear Sir
Above facts are true. generally we are facing these types of problems in the libraries. library fine is separate issue. i think lost of books from that students who had not returned library books due to incomplete their degree program or session can be recovered only if library should introduce library security (refundable) at the admission time. Are you agreed with my point.

yes, according your point of view, it is better to get refundable amount from members of library and put it in a separate account, so that it can utilize when some person left your college without notice. i hope this will be good suggestion for you
