Councilman Brian Kroth brought forward a citizen complaint about a library late fee that Kroth said ranged between $80 and $85 for books returned about a week late. Kroth asked the Council to consider whether that fee level discouraged library use.
City Administrator Dean Cordes said he would reach out to the librarian for further information and return to the next meeting with details. Attorney Kuhns cautioned that partner libraries, such as the Southwest Kansas Learning Library, may impose fees under their own policies and that some fees may be controlled by partnering institutions rather than the city alone.
