It sounds like we're kind of all over the map on this. We charge .20 per day per item, with 1 day grace period and a maximum fine of the replacement cost of the item. I kind of like the policy of a maximum of $5.00 per item, though. Maybe it would encourage people to bring books back.

Is it different for adults and children? Does it vary by format? Is there a maximum, and if so, what is it? Does that vary by format and age of patron? Please respond to the list. One of our newer librarians would like to know. Thanks.
