Library discontinues policy of sending final fine notices
Students with overdue library books will no longer receive final warning notices from Watson Library, a library official said yesterday.
However, the library will continue to send out five-day and 20-day overdue notices, Kendall Simmons, the official, said.
"We were sending out 750 to 800 final letters a semester, and only about 10 percent of the students were paying the fines or returning the comments said. "It was expensive to send them and not worthwhile."
In the past, students with books not returned before a 30-day grace period ended received a third warning from the library fines department. The police notice would be turned over to the business office in three weeks.
ON THE RECORD
If the student still does not respond to warnings from that office, Simmons said, the business office puts a notice on his enrollment until he pays the fine.
Simmons said the third warning notice from the library would be the only stage eliminated in the process.
Simmons said that neither the Parking Service nor Watkins Hospital ever had mailed out the warning notice to employees in business office. Last semester, she said, the notices cost the library about $200.
Any student who checks out a book from Watson Library is allowed 30 days after the book is due to return it. After that, the library will automat-
tically charge the book if it is. If, after 60 days, the book is still not returned it is declared lost, and the student will be charged the regular fine plus the cost of the book.
