Library Use Fees

To the Editor:
In response to the issue of charging library use 

fees (C&RL News, January 1981, p. 5), we charge 
$10 per semester. In my estimation, this is not 
desirable. Since we charge students to use the li­
brary, we cannot allow the general public to bor­
row unless they purchase a Friend of the Library 
card for $25 per calendar year. This is particularly 
distressing to public school teachers, many of 
whom are enrolled in graduate programs off- 
island and are working on dissertations.

A university committee is studying the fee 
problem. There are a number of fees and the 
question is whether or not tuition charges should 
be raised to include fees, rather than having 
them listed separately.

Currently 50% of our materials budget comes 
from fees. Our collection would be in bad shape 
without this revenue.—D. Joleen Bock, Dean o f 
Library Services, Robert F. Kennedy Memorial 
Library, Mangilao, Guam.
