Money collected for the replacement of lost or damaged library cards will remain at the library where it is paid, regardless of the patron’s residence.
The home library shall cooperate with the circulating library in attempting the retrieval of non-returned materials or the collection of sufficient funds to replace or repair lost or damaged materials.
When a lost or damaged item is paid for at a library other than the owning library, that collecting library must complete a “ Universal Payment” form and send it to the owning library. The owning library must bill the collecting library within 1 year of the Universal Payment form’s date. If the owning library does not bill the collecting library within 1 year, the collecting library can retain the money.
If items are damaged or are missing pieces, the owning library shall determine whether or not to charge the patron.
Overdue fees shall be retained by the collecting library.
The circulating library’s fee structure governs materials circulated from that library, and any fees so collected shall be retained by the circulating library.
Libraries are to honor the loan rules assigned to an item by the owning library.
When a collection agency fee is paid at a library other than the submitting library, that collecting library must complete a Universal Payment form and send it to the submitting library. The submitting library must bill the collecting library within 1 year of the Universal Payment form’s date. If the submitting library does not bill the collecting library within 1 year, the collecting library can retain the money.
