New Fee Policy

1. Lending Library Fees:  The library will always try to borrow items from libraries that lend free of charge.  If a free source is not available, the patron will be required to pay the charges.  The patron will be notified and given an opportunity to decline the requested materials and the lending library fees.
2. There will be no postage charge for items borrowed from libraries that participate in the ORBIS CASCADE ALLIANCE (member courier service).  We will make every effort to borrow interlibrary loan requested items from a library within the ORBIS Cascade Alliance Courier Service, serving Oregon, Washington and parts of Idaho.
