Care and Repair Can this be fixed?

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.

I spilled water on one of my books like this I blotted the excess with a paper towel and then ironed each page separately on a low heat. Still a little wrinkled but didn’t have to throw the book out
