We charge fees for late reserve returns, late netbook returns and  a processing fee on lost/non returned materials. We do not charge a fee on materials returned to the library.

Need your help!

I’d like to institute a ($5?) fee per item for overdue library materials and equipment that have reached the Fines and Fees level (4 weeks overdue) but are returned before they hit the two month mark and are sent to collection.
Currently at the Fines and Fees level they get notice listing a processing fee of $10 and an item replacement fee, but once the item is returned we waive those.  As part of the process we spend time making sure the item is not on the shelf, blocking and unblocking their grades registration, etc., sending out notices, making “final warning” phone calls etc.

We would not waive this fee on return of the items so this would put some teeth into encouraging students to be responsible and return or renew overdue items on time.  They currently get three weekly notices before they get to the Fines and Fees stage so they’ve had plenty of warning.

Does your library charge an overdue fee even if the items are returned?

Please respond directly to me: timf at bigbend.edu<mailto:timf at bigbend.edu>

I’ll share what I find out if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
Tim
