Library Makes Change
Initiates Fines Policy
the library at any time during the
day.
Mr. Dunmire, the librarian,
stated, “the lack of a fines sys
tem hampered effective operation
of the library during the past
year because students would not
return books,” As a result the
Library Council approved the fol
lowing fines policy:
(1) Five cents per day (any
part) be charged general circula
tion per book overdue,
(2) Twenty-five cents per hour
(any part) be charged per book
for overdue overnight reserve
books.
(3) Ten cents per hour (any
part) be charged per book for
overdue three day reserve books,
Mr. Dunmire also emphasized
that the library this year is to be
used only for library purposes:
no smoking, no talking, and no
beverages allowed inside the
building.
Changes made for Southeast-
ern’s library this year include a
new location, a new policy con
cerning reserve books, and the
establishment of a fines system.
