Annual Borrowing Fee Policy

Effective September 1, 2004

Fee Rates

  1. Annual charges are $120 per individual attorney library card. The charge for half a year (6 months) is $65.
  2. Each borrower may authorize up to two librarians, paralegals, or clerks to borrow materials on their behalf. Authorized names should be listed on the borrower’s application.
  3. Abuse of an account (e.g., borrowing on behalf of others who do not have a library card) may result in additional charges or loss of borrowing privileges.

General rules

  1. The borrower fee year will commence on the day the Library receives the application and fee, and expire one year later. Six-month library cards will expire six months from the time the Library receives the application and fee. There will be a 15-day grace period.
  2. After the 15-day grace period a non-paying borrower will lose his/her borrowing privileges.
  3. Applications for either six-month or one year borrowing privileges may be submitted at any time.

Borrower Agreements

  1. The borrower receives all privileges as detailed in the borrower agreement.
  2. All borrowers agree to pay fines of $1 per day for overdue materials.
  3. Borrowers agree to pay the full cost of all materials not returned to the Library within 30 days.
