Belgrade board approves brochure and updates visitor, ILL and printing fees
Summary
Board approved a brochure and accepted updates to visitor card fees and printing/interlibrary loan charges. Staff said visitor cards will cost $10 (3 months), $15 (6 months) and $25 (1 year); black-and-white printing will rise to $0.15 per page and color to $0.75.
Elena, the library director, presented a draft information brochure and outlined updated fees set under the city's master fee schedule. She told the board the visitor card fees are now "$10 for 3 months, $15 for 6 months, and then $25 for the whole year," and reviewed other fee changes including an increase to interlibrary loan charges after initial free orders and higher printing rates.
Board members discussed display and rollout logistics and asked when the brochure would be available; Elena said rollout depends on the city IT implementation of Envisionware to control a daily printing allowance. A motion to approve the brochure information was made, seconded and the board voted in favor.
Elena also described practical circulation policies the brochure will cover: library card eligibility for Gallatin County residents, the absence of general late fees but limited late fees for some items, checkout durations that vary by item type, and updated replacement and ILL fees. The brochure will include a QR code linking to the library’s digital booking procedures for rooms and services.
