452 The Board reviewed the request by Mr. Tom Dillard, Library Director, to make the following overdue fee and circulation period changes for videocassettes: (1) Circulation period for videocassettes be increased to two weeks; and (2) Overdue fine for videocassettes be decreased to $.10 per day up to a maximum fine of $4.00 per item. The current overdue fee for videocassettes is $1.50 per item per day up to $12.00 per item. There was discussion regarding the proposed lowering of the fines for overdue videocassettes, specifically concern that persons would not return the videocassettes because of the low fine. The Board by consensus agreed to table the change in policy concerning videocassettes until the meeting in June with Mr. Dillard to provide additional information.
