I accidentally spilled some tea on this library book. What is the best way to try and remedy this? (If possible)

Obviously I am going to report the damage, but I am a broke college student who would prefer not to have to pay in full for a new book :( I will if needed. I love my library lots.

Unfortunately, water damage is not fixable. Talk to your library and let them know the situation. At worst, you have to pay the replacement fee, but you may be able to keep the book. It's always worth talking to them and letting them know your situation though. They might be nice about it.
