目前,许多图书馆对读者在借阅图书过程中出现的丢失、损毁图书现象,作出硬性规定,即读者要承担惩罚性赔偿责任。这种做法不仅违背了惩罚性赔偿的功能,而且不符合对此类行为追究侵权责任、违约责任的法律要求。合法的做法应是首先考虑让读者提供替代本,如无法提供,应根据丢失、损毁图书的实际价值等因素确定赔偿数额。
At present, many libraries make rigid stipulations on readers’ loss or damage of book phenomenon during the process of borrowing books, that is, readers should bear the punitive damages liability. This practice not only violates the function of punitive damages, but also does not meet the legal requirements for such acts to be held accountable for infringement and breach of contract. Legitimate practices should first consider allowing readers to provide alternatives, if not available, should be based on the actual value of lost, damaged books and other factors to determine the amount of compensation.
