Changes to library charges

As part of the annual review of library charges & standardisation of charges amongst libraries in the Swift Consortia the Library Board has approved the following changes.

Reservations will be free of charge. There will still be a search fee for some Interlibrary Loan materials - materials not available from all the free public libraries.

There will be one charge for overdue items - 25c per day per item (for both adult and junior material). The maximum amount on items will remain at $10 for adult items and $5 for junior items.

These changes will start from 1st October 2007.

Cheers, Maryanne

You're welcome Erin. It will be interesting to see if we get members placing more holds.

Cheers, Maryanne

What about people who have purchased a pre-paid reservations card?

Hi Karen,
That's a great question. I suggest you place your holds now to use up the card.

The free holds start in October.

Cheers, Maryanne
