Usually it is about $5.00 or if the damage is worse, then the patron is charged for the whole item.   Sue Lilley Lampasas Public Library   From: Laurie Mahaffey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 1:08 PM To: ctls-l Subject: Fees and fines This is a message from CTLS-L.

Their board is concerned about raising their charges. What do you charge for lost or damaged books? How do you charge for damaged books? Are the charges the same for videos as for books? If not, what are they?   One of our other librarians did a great booklet several years ago that was a compilation of this information. (Thanks, Carla!). I’ve been sending it out to people, but now that so many years have passed, perhaps it’s time to gather this info again.   Thank you for your help. You may respond to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED].   Laurie
