If so, how much? Also, how would patrons who fill out ILLs online be charged? We don't charge for ILL. We do ask for the postage to return the item--whatever it cost to get it here we assume will be the correct amount. We don't have a way for patrons to fill out ILL's online, but even if we did, we would only be able to put the postage charge on after it got here (we just add it to their patron record as a special charge). Do you have a limit per card? If so, how much? Yes, three. Do you charge a fee if the item is not picked up or refused because they don't want it anymore? If it gets here the charge is on their record and we will eventually collect whether they came to get the book or not. Cara Russell, Library Director Dripping Springs Community Library 512-858-7825
