FEES FOR SERVICE POLICY
POLICY NO.:
PAGE 1 OF 2
EFFECTIVE: 10/4/94
REVISED: 12/4/97
APPROVED: 12/4/97
PURPOSE: The purpose of this policy is to outline the philosophy of fees for service to provide
guidance for the staff and understanding by the public.
POLICY: It is the library policy to charge cost-recovery fees for services beyond traditional or
basic library services. Basic services have been defined as the loaning of book materials,
answering of simple information questions, attendance at open children's and adult programming.
Non-basic services have been defined by the library board as database searching, public access
computers, videos, audios, reserve materials, interlibrary loan, photocopying and specialized
class instruction. Fees will be assigned based on a cost recovery formula that will include a
portion of stafftime, consumables and utility costs. While the Board may choose to subsidize
services by charging less than full cost recovery, in no instance shall the Board charge more than
the cost to provide the service. All fees will be subject to library board approval.
Fees may also be established when an enhanced service is provided as an alternative to an
existing free service.
Fees may be established when the service clearly benefits one user to the exclusion of others or
prevents reuse of the information provided.
SERVICES FOR WHICH THE BOARD HAS DETERMINED A FEE MAY BE
CHARGED:
1. Rental for media of all varieties
2. Interlibrary loan
3. Reserves
4. Lost library card
5. Temporary library card
6. Collection agency fee

OVERDUES, FINES & FEES POLICY
POLICY NO.:
PAGE 1 OF 1
EFFECTIVE: 8/6/98
REVISED:
APPROVED: 8/6/98
PURPOSE: The purpose of this policy is to ensure the fair assessment of fees and fines to
provide for the upkeep of the collection and to prevent loss of materials.
POLICY: In order to make materials available to all patrons on an equal basis and protect the
community' s investment in the library collection, the library will set policies goveming the
return or replacement of materials borrowed by patrons.
OVERDUE MATERIALS: On the day after the due date, all materials will be considered
overdue if they have not been renewed or returned. After two weeks, a reminder notice will be
sent. Materials will continue to accrue a fine until they are returned. In some instances the
librarian will call the patron asking for the return of the material.
GRACE PERIOD: A grace period of one day is built into the computer system. This allows for
a 1 day margin for error. Videocassettes are exempt from a grace period.
BOOKDROP RETURNS: A book drop in the parking lot of the library is available for
convenience in returning library books during hours when the library is not open. If books or
videos that may be returned in the bookdrop are in the bookdrop by the time the library opens,
they will be credited with having been returned the day before. Materials such as tapes, cd=s and
software may be damaged by depositing them in the book drop.
FINES: All overdue materials accrue fines in the amounts listed below up to the maximum fine
limits. Fines are based on item rather than patron. A child borrowing adult materials will be
assessed an adult overdue fine.
Per Day Maximum Fine Borrowing thresholds
Overdue Fine: adult $.25 $10 $5
Overdue Fine: children $. 10 $10 $5
Overdue Fine: video $1 $10
Overdue Fine: video best sellers $2 $10
Overdue Fine: DVD $2 $10
Overdue Fine: DVD best sellers $3 $10
Overdue Fine: CD Rom $2 $10
Overdue Fine: magazine $.10 $1
DENIAL OF SERVICE TO PATRONS WITH DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS: Patrons with
outstanding fines that exceed the borrowing thresholds will be asked to clear their records before
being allowed to check out any more materials. Service to an entire family living in one
household will be curtailed because of the delinquency of any member. Delinquency is defined
as the accumulation of $25 in fines and fees for lost or damaged materials.
LOST AND DAMAGED MATERIALS: Patrons are responsible for all materials checked out
on their cards and are liable for the damages which may occur to library materials. The library
will notify the patron of payment due for the replacement of the damaged item. Fees will include
the cost of the item, processing costs and overdue fines.
Items totally damaged may be given to the patron if the patron has paid the replacement cost,
including replacement fee and if necessary, the Collection Agency fee of the item in question,
and ONLY if the patron asks to keep the item.
Patron is not responsible for loss or damage due to fire, flood, death, or other disaster.

be billed to the parent or guardian who signed as responsible party.

immediately in the event the library card is lost or stolen. The library will not hold the patron

Kidsmobile Circulation Policy
Page 1 of 1
CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA
KIDSMOBILE CIRCULATION
POLICY
POLICY NO.:
PAGE 1 OF 1
EFFECTIVE: 8/8/02
REVISED:
APPROVED: 8/8/02
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines governing the borrowing of materials
specifically for the Kidsmobile. Guidelines include establishing what policies will be the same
as regular library policy and what areas will offer alternative options based on the special needs
of youngsters and the school environment.
BACKGROUND:
The Kidsmobile is a vehicle designed as a bookmobile and dedicated to children's services. In
addition to park and neighborhood stops, the Kidsmobile visits school sites, at the request of the
school, to provide book materials to registered youngsters.
The Kidsmobile circulation policies have been developed with the following priorities in mind:
1) Safety of youngsters and staff
2) Ability to maximize the opportunity ora library visit to the schools.
3) Protecting the collection of materials
CIRCULATION POLICIES:
1) All Circulation policies will apply to the Kidsmobile activities with the following
exceptions:
a. No fines will be charged or collected on Kidsmobile materials
i. This policy is adopted as a safety item, to prevent the presence of cash on
the vehicle and as a method to increase the use of materials by children,
Kidsmobile Circulation Policy
Page 2 of 1
knowing the youngsters using the Kidsmobile would not have cash
available to clear fines on the visitation day.
b. Standard loan period on Kidsmobile books is four weeks instead of two weeks.
i. School visits are scheduled every two weeks. This gives youngsters two
opportunities to return their books before they are overdue.
c. Children are limited to borrowing three books at school stops and five books at
afterschool stops.
i. The small collection available in the Kidsmobile prompted the reduction
in the number of items allowed to be borrowed per youngster per stop.
d. Schools will be allowed to photocopy youngster's library cards for class room use
as long as the parent has signed a release form, allowing them to do so. (Form
attached.)
i. Youngsters frequently forget to bring their library card to school on their
visit date. This process ensures a maximum use of the Kidsmobile during
each school visit.
e. Fine threshold is $10 before a card is blocked, rather than $5.
i. For safety reasons, patrons are not allowed the option of paying fines on
the Kidsmobile, so the threshold is higher.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
In order to increase participation and eliminate the need for children to remember their
library cards on bookmobile day, the library has a new policy that allows teachers to keep
a photocopy of each child's library card in the classroom for use on the Kidsmobile.
These copies will be kept at school and will only be valid for use on the Kidsmobile
during scheduled stops at your child's school. They cannot be used at the library or at
any other park or community Kidsmobile stops. If your child has a library card and you
would like to take advantage of this, please check the box below and fill out the
information requested. (We are asking for this information to ensure we have identified
your child correctly and distinguish him or her from other children who may have the
same or similar names). The teacher will photocopy your child's card and we will add a
note authorizing the use of the copy at Kidsmobile stops at his or her school.
I authorize my child to use a photocopy of his/her card at all Kidsmobile stops at
my child's school. I understand that I will be responsible for all materials checked
out with this photocopied card as I would with my child's library card.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF STATISTICS
Circulation/Library Visitors:
Overall, borrowing has increased by 4% so far this year. Most of the increase is thanks to the popularity
of the Kidsmobile. With nearly 7,000 items circulated so far this year, the Kidsmobile has also helped to
register over 650 youngsters for library cards. Visitation to Archibald took a sharp drop this month, but
overall, we are seeing only an average of 14 people less each day this year compared to last.
Information Questions:
The number of information questions dropped 11% this month. Children's Services experienced an
unexplainable dip of 35%! Perhaps this is related to the 10% less visits during the month and the growing
popularity of the Kidsmobilc. We will continue tracking these numbers over the next few months.
Children's Programs:
Storytimes and program attendance was up by 2% this month, showing an annual growth of 7%. The
outreach programs created by Family Literacy Staff generated some nice numbers this month. The YES
(Youth Enrichment Services) storytimes provided at Lions and Mulberry Learning Centers reached an
audience of 338 youngsters in October.
The "Kidsmobile" is going gangbusters, with 4,250 items circulated in October alone and 394 youngsters
signed up for new library cards!
Technology Center Visitors:
This area demonstrates another 23% jump, with 103 patrons waiting for computers this October compared
to the 60 waiting in October of 2001. Overall, demand for this service is up 29% for the year.
Items Classified:
Still feeling the impact of last year's push for children's books for the Kidsmobile, overall items classified
is down 8% this year.
Volunteer Hours:
Thanks to the introduction of the "House Calls" program for the housebound, volunteers hours show a 16% growth
this year over last..

construction projects to key personnel, in response to the Victoria Gardens Branch project.
5200: Operations funds are diminishing quickly this year. Office Supplies show 58% expended and Special
Program Supplies, including cataloging, children's and Volunteer supplies also show 42% spent. Some portion of
this is due to the celebration this year for our volunteers.

Staff Report
DATtl: November 14, 2002
TO: President and Members of the Board of Library Trustees
FROM: Deborah Kayo Clark, Library Director
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF REQUEST TO CLOSE 4 HOURS FOR IN-SERVICE TRAINING
ON FRIDAY~ DECEMBER 67 2002
RECOMMENDATION
That the Board approve closing the library on Friday, December 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
allowing Library Staff to conduct a 4 hour in-service training session for full and part time
emptoyees.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
In 1998, the Library Board approved the concept of closing two days during the fiscal year to
conduct in-service training for full and part time employees.
Staff recommends December 6, a Friday, for this year's in-service training. Mornings remain
our lowest circulation timeframe. December 6 occurs during the slow-down of the holidays, and
is one of our lowest circulation time frames. However, because of the popular "2 for 1" video
program, we are recommending the in-service be limited to 4 hours. Under this
recommendation, the following service would be offered:
9 a.m. - 1 p.m. In-service
2 p.m. - 6 p.m. Regular service and open hours
The content of this year's program will consist of an update on issues surrounding the proposed
Victoria Gardens Branch Library and Divisional Meetings.
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
Deborah Kayo Cla~, Library Director
