This can be very inconvenient. If your library does not have much space, it may also be impossible for everyone who wants to read to find a seat. If the committee decides that the library should lend out books, it will have to make rules about who can borrow them and for how long. There may be some books, such as encyclopaedias and dictionaries, that are so expensive or so hard to replace that you decide not to lend them out. The committee will have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of letting people borrow the books and then work with the librarian to set a clear and workable lending policy.
Fees are charges to use the library.
These fees may bring in needed money, but they may also make it too expensive for some people in the community to use the library. One solution is to have different fees depending on income and make the library free for the poorest people. It can be confusing, though, to charge different people different fees and some people may find that system unfair. Another approach would be to ask people to contribute what they can afford. Many museums in the United States have a sign at the door asking people to make a small donation.
