Out of District Fees
by Cory Grimminck 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

My board is considering instituting an annual fee for patrons who live outside our district. I have a few questions for those libraries that do charge an out-of-district fee, particularly if such a fee was instituted during your tenure at the library. 1) How much do you charge, and how did you arrive at that number? 2) How many out-of-district cards do you issue per year? 3) Does your year begin when the patron pays the fee, or is it based on the calendar year? Do you pro-rate the fee if someone joins partway through the year? 4) Do you feel that you are losing patrons and/or not providing necessary service to everyone? 5) If these fees were instituted during your tenure, can you tell me how patrons reacted to the new fees? 6) Do you have any sort of operational millage? Thanks for your time, Cory

With the new notice from the IRS that there may be changes made to the federal forms because of the new tax law passed on Feb 9, AND the fact that the IRS will NOT be printing the forms to send to libraries, what are other library systems doing? Are you pulling the forms with signage and info, telling folks were to order when they are ready? Or....? Thanks for thoughts.
