(1) Any person who writes upon, marks or soils any book or by whose act any book is, in the opinion of the Librarian, otherwise damaged in any way whatsoever, or who destroys any book, shall be liable to pay to the Government such sum of money as the Librarian considers necessary to replace such book or the whole set of books of which such book forms a part or such sum of money as the Librarian considers to be full compensation for the damage or loss to the Government.

(2) If any book which is borrowed from the library or obtained for use in the library is not returned in accordance with these regulations, the person who is the holder of the ticket on which such book was borrowed or the person who obtained the book for use in the library, as the case may be, shall be liable to pay to the Government such sum of money as the Librarian considers necessary to replace such book or the whole set of books of which such book forms a part or such sum of money as the Librarian considers to be full compensation for the damage or loss to the Government.

(3) Where any sum becomes payable under this regulation in respect of a book borrowed from the library, the person who is the holder of the ticket on which the book was borrowed shall be liable to pay such sum notwithstanding that the book was not materially borrowed by him.

(4) The holder of a ticket who has reported in writing the loss of the ticket to the Librarian shall not be liable under this regulation in respect of any book which is borrowed from the library on that ticket after he has reported such loss.
