Practice And other potential changes to code and/or collection development policy Code: No materials will be loaned from the library~ e.rcept to parties having a valid librarv identification card which is not subject to any unpaid fines or penalties. Regulations: Reality: People forget their cards all the time. In practice, the staff allows them to check items out with a picture i.d. Staff Input/Reaction: 1- stick with the code and enforce it uniformly, S change the code Notes- some people will be very angry if they must have their card with them; charge a fee for thase who do not have a card with them. Recommendation from Director: Change the code to reflect the practice. Regutation: Upon application for a card, the borrower will be permitted to check out one (1) item. After receiving the card through the mail, the borrower may check out as many as four (4) items each library visit if all materials nrevinu.clv Inaned have heen Staff Input/Reaction: Most staff members like this regulation. Notes: Suggestions that the loan period be 28 days with a 14 day renewal, more dvd's and videos on one card. Recommendation from Director: Based on both the Alaska Library Association conference and the Public Library Association conference, cusromer service is a high prioriry in libraries. Excellent customer service does not presume the worst about customer behavior. Libraries are seen as inconvenient, resh-ictive and rule bound; a hassle. Eliminate as many of the rules and regulations as possible and relax those that are necessary. Make it easier for staff and customers. Limit firsP time borrowers to 4 items before they receive their card in the mail. Limit DVD and Video to four per card. Do not set any other limits on numbers of items per circulation transaction. . Comparabies: Ketchikan: All temporary borrowers are limited to two items for their first check-out. After the first two items are returned, you may have up to four items out at a time. Full-time cardhotders can check out ten (10) videos/DVDs and a hundred (100) items (books, magazines, audio books, CDs) total. Deposit card holders can have four (4) things checked out on their cazd at one time. Sitka: Loan Period: 30 days with one 21-day renewal, if there are no holds Limit: 75 total items Anchorage, Juneau, Unalaska, and Fairbanks: do not set any limit on the number of items borrowed. 5G Seward, Nebraska and Jacksonville, FL: 50 items at a time tUaon, Ohio: There is no timit to the number of books or magazines thaY a customer may have out on their record, as long as their fines do not exceed $5.00. A customer may check out no more than 2 Books in Boxes, 5 CD-ROMs, 2 Kits for Kids, 10 videos, 5 DVD's and 10 CD's from a location in one day. I checked a random setecrion of policies, in state and in the lower 48, from small to large libraries. The vast majority do not set any limits on the number of items that circulate to any individual, outside of common sense. Most only set limits when fines and/or unretumed items reach some set limit. Regutation:2. FINES a. Ten cents ($0.10) per day on four (4) week books. b. Twenry-five cents ($0.25) per day on fourteen (14) day books and/or other library materials such as maps, periodicals or Staff Input/Reaction: Staff uniformly believes that video/dvd fines be reduced to $1/day with mazimums set on all items of $10. Individuals comments induded one staff inember recommending that adl books be fined at $.10 per day and another noting that the fnes for cassette players, screens and projectors be kept at 83 per day. Recommendation from Director: Reduce fines for dvd/video to $1 per day and keep the fines for equipment at $3 a day. Set marimum flnes per item at $1 Q I would eliminate the language fine and replace it with late fee and eliminate all fines for materials except dvd/video and equipment. This would reduce revenue, but enhance customer satisfaction and perception of the library. If this is too drastic charge a uniform overdue fine for materials of $.10 a day. Comparables: Jacksonvilie, FL.: DVDs @$1/day to a$20.00 max, all other formats including VHS @$.20 per day with a$4 max. Akron, OA: Adult material @ 10 cents/day, Juvenile material @ 5 cents/day, VHS, DVD and CD-ROM @ fifty cents/day Blue Hill, Maine: The smooth operation of a lending library is based on a concept of responsibility and trust that materials will be returned or renewed in a timely manner so they are available to all patrons. To the end the library will assess fines on overdue materials at the following rates: 20 cents/day for print and audio, VHS and DVD $1/day When a patron has accrued $10.00 in fines or replacement costs, his/her account is frozen. Aii borrowing privileges will be suspended until the matter is resolved. Staff Input/Reaction: 2 One staffinember noted that this is more effective when it is unifonnly applied. Juneau: The overdue fine on 28-day loan materials is calculated at the rate of 15 cents per item per day and begins the day after the date due. If an overdue 28-day item is retumed by the Sth day after date due, related fines are forgiven. The overdue fine on videos and CD's is calculated at the rate of ~ t per item per day and begins the day after the date due. There is no grace period for video and CD overdue fines. Ketchikan: The fine for overdue videos is $ I.00 per day, per video, up to $5.00 for each late video. If non- video items become one week overdue, a first norice is sent and a fine of .70 cents per book is charged. An additional .10 cents is added each day, up to $3.00 per book. Newport, Oregon: There are no overdue fines at Newport Library, but others will appreciate your timely return of materials. You will be reminded of overdue items by phone or letter. Should an item become six weeks overdue, you wili be bilied for it and charged a processing fee. Fairbanks: Public libraries in Amenca have a long tradition of providing free access and service to all residents of the community they serve. The FNSB public library is supported by the Borough with funds supplied from local property taxes and State revenue sharing, As a result, all basic library services are freely provided. One can enter the library, check out books, attend a story time and use the meeting rooms at no chazge as long as library regulations are followed. Staff Input/Reac6on: One staff inember noted that this is also the policy in Newport, OR and that it is an ideal. Seward, Nebraska: 5 cents/day per item with a max of $1 Spokane, Washington: 20 centsl day for most items including older DVDs, New release DVD and VHS @$1/day. Bonowing blocked when fines reach $10 Anchorage: $1 per day for videos and DVDs ,15 cents per day £or children's books and toys ,25 cents per day for all other items Regulation: 5. DAMAGES a. Two dollars ($2.00) per page for torn or defaced pages or covers. (Pages or covers containing scribbling, writing or pages that have been mended with scotch tane or like material Recommendation from Director: That an upper limit be set so that the chazge does not exceed the replacement cost of the item. Stafff Input/Reaction : All staff agreed with this recommendation. Regulation: 6. LIMITED CIItCULATION Materials designated "Limited Circulation" aze to be loaned only to borrowers with responsible library usage for the immediate past Pol'-cy: THE KENAI COMM[JNITY LIBRARY WILL ~NDEAVOR: a. To provide free service to every resident in the community. r. Tn ~.« Reality: This simply does not happen. Staff Input/Reacteon: All staff inembers agree that this simply does not happen and need not apply. Recommendation from Director: Eliminate this regulation. Questions: Do we want to make "P' less specific so that hours mightchange? for a card? Do we want to institute a non-resident fee Would we like to update our mission statement for a new five year plan? Staff Input/Reaction: Most staff inembers said that they thought that `f ' was too specific, but all wanted assurance that there would be no staff cuts. Some recommended that we close Sundays in the summer, but extend hours on Friday and Saturday to 7 when closed on Sunday. The staff reaction was mixed on the subject of charging a non-resident fee. Most are against charging members of neighboring communities and would like a definition of non-resident. Some thought a nominal fee, SIO is reasonable. Some thought an Internet only card with a fee a good idea. Recommendation from Director : Just get rid of ` f' and do not specify hours of service at all, allowing for hours to increase or decrease as f ts changing needs of the community. Consider summer Sunday closings with summer hours extended on Friday and Saturday. 4 Charge non-residents for borrowing privileges and/or use of computers. Non-resident defined as non-Alaska resident. Residency can be proven with an Alaska driver's license or utility bill mailed to an Alaska residence. Non-residents would still have access to wireless internet access free of charge and can use the express email stations at no charge. Many libraries restrict borrowing privileges strictly to their own constituents and/or taxpayer base. They offer no temporary or non-resident bonowing. Some states stipulate that all residents of their state may borrow from any public library within the state. Most libraries charge some sort of non-resident fee, which varies widely. See below. Spokane, WA: Non-resident library cards are available to individuals and families who wish to borrow materials and/or take advantage of other library services.
