Library hikes fees shift for forgetful patrons
Ottawa Public Library raises replacement card fee from 50 cents to 1 dollar effective January 1 after a rise in lost cards. Director Tim Sullivan notes the change targets frequent misplacements, as staff undertake 14 steps to cancel and issue new cards. Budget cuts end mail microfilms from the federal archives, shifting access to Kansas and interlibrary loan volumes, while genealogy needs remain available through other channels.
