Fee Waivers <br />•Fees may be waived for library members due to special circumstances, such as, <br />but not limited to technical difficulties with the circulation system, lost items that <br />have been recovered, workflow constraints at the returns outlet, emergency <br />facility closures, and Library Commission-approved fee amnesty days. <br />•When determining individual fee waivers, library staff may consider any number <br />of reasonable factors, including, but not limited to a library member being <br />unaware of library policies with regard to fees; a library member who is unable to <br />pay the entire amount owed due to personal hardship; personal emergencies and <br />extenuating life circumstances; or a library member who has paid a fee and can <br />provide supporting documentation. <br />•Member Services staff assess the damage of a returned item. If the damage is <br />beyond normal wear and tear, such as pages missing, liquid damage, animal <br />damage, etc., staff will notify the library member about the damage and bill the <br />library member for the replacement cost. <br />•All items subject to material replacement are kept in the library for six months for <br />library members to review before an item is paid for. <br />•If a library member disputes the charge of a damaged library item, the library <br />member can discuss the item with Library Administration for further review. <br />LINK+ Lending Service <br />•The LINK+ lending service is a collaborative system that allows Pleasanton <br />Public Library members to borrow materials from participating public and <br />university libraries in California. <br />•Fines and replacement fees on these materials will continue to be charged per <br />the LINK+ consortium agreement. <br />Approved by the Library Commission, October 5, 2023. <br />Adopted by the Pleasanton City Council, November 7, 2023 . <br />Page 13 of 39
