--Wimberley Village Library does not charge for reserving books....but
we do much prefer to notify patrons (with their ok) by email or by
telephone rather than mail. Best wishes for a happy library! SuzAnne

Of course that is not our aim. :-) We just have one patron (a former
librarian here) who insists we should still do this, and I just wondered
what other libraries do.

Also with so many online reserves it becomes a real
hassle to collect. Staff spend more time trying to
collect the fee than is collected. The 25 cents was to
cover the cost for the postcard to alert you that your
book was available in most libraries where I worked.

I suspect from the users point of view that charging
for reserve books is
part of being nibbled to death.

What a novel idea! We don't charge to reserve new or
old books.

Before we were automated, patrons used to "put down
a quarter" to reserve a
book. We've pretty much gotten away from that, but
I'm wondering what other
libraries do. Do you charge to reserve books? Or
just new books?
Thanks,
