Staff Report
DATE: July 11,2002
TO: President and Members of the Board of Library Trustees
FROM: Deborah Kaye Clark, Library Director
SUBJECT: REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF UPDATED POLICIES
RECOMMENDATION
That the Board review, and approve or recommend changes on the attached policy,
governing borrowing of Test Book items.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Library Board requested that the Library post all policies on the Library web site.
Accepting staff's suggestion that the policies be reviewed for timeliness and
appropriateness before being scanned into the web, the Board directed that policies
appear as a regular item on the consent agenda for review and possible revision by the
Board. This will continue until all existing policies are updated by the Board.
Attached is the Test Book Policy, revised to allow the account to be sent to the
collection agency in the event the $20 deposit does not cover the total cost of the item.
Due to the rising costs of test booklets, it frequently occurs that the deposit does not
cover the total costs of the book. However, to charge the full replacement cost would, in
staff's opinion, deter borrowing. Staff is recommending no further changes at this time,
but welcome's Board input on desired revisions or reconsiderations.

TEST BOOK POLICY
POLICY NO.:
PAGE 1 OF 1
EIq-ECTIVE: 4/4/96
REVISED: 7/11/02
APPROVED:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this policy is to increase the availability of high demand test books
by securing their safe and prompt return to the library or providing the funds for their swift
replacement.
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, libraries offering test booklets often called "Arco Books", find
themselves constantly replacing items that are never returned after the initial first borrowing.
Throughout libraries in California, it is a common practice to charge a deposit, guaranteeing
either the timely return of the item, or creating a fund to pay for the replacement of the items in a
timely manner.
GUIDELINES:
1. A $20 deposit will be required on all test books.
2. Test books circulate for two weeks and may be renewed for an additional two weeks,
unless a reserve or hold is placed against the title.
3. Test books will be kept in a special section and each book will be clearly marked "TEST
BOOK-S20 DEPOSIT REQUIRED.
4. Patrons may pay by cash, check or credit card. If a check is used for payment, customer
should be notified by staff that the check will be cashed immediately.
5. Customers will receive a deposit receipt which will be placed in the book pocket located
inside the front cover of the item.
6. For a full refund of the deposit, the customer must return the test book and present the
deposit receipt.
7. The deposit will be held for 21 days after the due date. After 22 days, no refund will be
granted.
8. Overdue test books will accrue fines at twenty-five cents per day and will be withdrawn
and reordered at 22 days overdue.
9. Patron will be billed for the full replacement cost of the book plus $5 processing fee. The
$20 deposit will be deducted from the amount due.
lO. Normal collection agency process will be followed to secure the full replacement cost of
any lost deposit book, including processing fees and overdue fees.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF STATISTICS
Circulation/Library Visitors:
At the end of the fiscal year, we can celebrate an overall increase of 9% in our circulation overall (thanks
to the Kidsmobile) and 6% increase at the Archibald Library. Patron registration overall was up by 24%--
we're hoping that promises a lively 2002/2003 year for the library!
Speaking of lively, we showed an overall increase of 28% in the number of visitors to our library.
Information Questions:
The Adult Information area declined by 8% in terms of the number of questions answered, but Children's
Information continued to be up 16%. Overall for the year, information questions flatlined at 0%.
Children's Programs:
Storytimes and program attendance was up by 4% this year.
Technology Center Visitors:
While the overall income was less than anticipated, the use of the service increased by 14%. It should be
noted that the single most protested policy, during the recent survey of library users, was the policy that
charged for Interact service.
Items Classified:
Overall 16% decline in the number of books processed for this fiscal year. This is "loss" represents the
fact that last year saw the purchase of 3,500 new children's books for the Kidsmobile. Basically, this area
shows no growth or loss over last years figures.
Volunteer Hours:
Decline in volunteer hours of 4%.
Overall, it was a very good year!

POLICY:
Given the Library's commitment to provide curriculum support to school students, schools within
the city limits of Rancho Cucamonga will be given priority for Kidsmobile stops.
1) Schools within the city of Rancho Cucamonga with sufficient interest to meet the minimum
use requirements (see below) for a standard stop of two hours.
2) Schools in Rancho Cucamonga requesting stops of a shorter duration due to fewer than 75
children visiting.
Minimum use requirements: at least 75 children visit the Kidsmobile during a two-hour stop and
or at least 100 books borrowed
Every effort will be made to continue service to schools that have met the minimum use
requirements during the previous school year. When there is a waiting list of schools for
Kidmobile services, a school that consistently fails to make optimum use of the service may
experience a reduction in Kidsmobile service. Any vacancies that result from failure to meet
minimum use requirements will be filled from the waiting list following the priority outlined
above.
