We never go over that. We also let patrons check out or use the internet if their fines are under $5.00 total. We charge replacement price plus $5.00 processing for lost or damaged books. If the damage can be repaired in house, we charge a fine equal to the labor cost of the time spent by the repair lady. (She estimates for us—we don’t stand behind her with a stopwatch or anything.) For replacement costs, I usually price the book on Baker & Taylor or Amazon and order it when the patron pays for it. Hope that helps.

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.
