Fines
Printed Materials: 25 cents per day
Videos: $1.00 per day
The borrower will be invoiced for the replacement cost of any materials overdue by two weeks or more. All materials must be returned in the condition in which they were received. Borrowers are responsible for damages to borrowed materials. Borrowers must promptly notify the librarian and their post office of any materials that are received in damaged condition.

Library Returns Policy
In addition to the daily overdue fines listed above, the following procedure will apply if material borrowed from the GALA Library is not returned in good condition by the due date indicated on each item:

1.
Librarian contacts delinquent borrower regarding unreturned materials. If materials not returned promptly, librarian contacts a GALA Board member who then contacts borrower.

2.

If materials then become 30 days overdue, a certified letter, signed by the GALA president, will be sent to the borrower. The letter will provide the borrower 7 days from the day of receipt for the materials to be returned or the replacement cost to be received at the library.

3.
The name of the delinquent borrower and the material missing will be listed in the GALA newsletter.

4.
GALA membership will not be renewed until materials are returned or replacement costs are received.

Suggestions For New Materials
Members may request materials to be added to the Library Collection. Requests made to the librarian will be forwarded to the Board Liason.

The Librarian
The GALA Library is operated by a member volunteer who serves at the direction of the GALA Board of Directors. The Librarian welcomes ideas for providing highest quality services to members and for improving the library collection. Because the Librarian also maintains a farm and a business, members are encouraged to place requests for materials by e-mail, fax or general mail. The current Librarian has dedicated a phone voice-mail line to receive your requests and comments, 24 hours a day.
