[Michlib-l] Borrowing Privileges and Large Fine Management

[Barb Gudenburr]

Hi Scott,
At the Canton Public Library we take away borrowing privileges if a patron owes $20 or more in fines.   Patron accounts exceeding $35 resulting from billed materials (a portion can include late fees) overdue more than 45 days will be turned over to a collection agency.
If the patron's account has reached $40.00 in late fees  (Patron will not go to collections).

***Please excuse listserv cross postings***

What is your dollar threshold before revoking borrowing privileges? (Ours is currently $50 per patron)  How do you deal with excessively large fines? (I couldn't access the archives for previous discussions on this topic)

Thank you,
