RECOMMENDATION(S):

FIX a public hearing for December 11, 2018 at 9:00 a.m., to consider adopting Resolution No. 2018/556 that will supersede Resolution No. 2013/465, to adopt a new Fines and Charges Schedule for the Contra Costa County Library effective January 1, 2019, as recommended by the County Librarian.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The County Librarian and County Library Commission are recommending changes to the library fines and charges schedule policy. Contra Costa County Library goals include ensuring that everyone has easy, equitable access to library services. Following the public hearing, the County Librarian requests the Board of Supervisors to adopt the new Contra Costa County Library Fines and Charges Schedule that will no longer include daily fines for overdue items, to increase equitable access to library materials.
