Warsaw Community Public Library Board of Trustees Monday approved a resolution for fees for non-residents who purchase library cards.

The Indiana State Library will be notified the fees for library cards for non-residents remain unchanged, according to WCPL Director Ann Zydek.The resolution states a non-resident who purchases a library card for an individual is $75 a year. A four-month fee is $25.

The cost for a yearly fee is $37.50 each for preschool to high school seniors, and senior citizens ages 65 and older. A four-month fee is $12.50.

The yearly family fee for non-residents is $187.50. A four-month fee is $62.50.

The board also approved a public meeting room policy revision. The new policy states the library board is in charge of any questions regarding which groups may meet at the library.

Priorities for meeting room rentals are given to library-sponsored meetings or programs and library co-sponsored or library-related programs.

The library director will review groups failing to abide by the meeting room policy and meeting room procedures.

A public meeting room procedure revision also was approved. The procedure states use of meeting rooms by any group is limited to 12 hours per month maximum, working around the restrictions of two evenings or two days a month.

The meeting room coordinator will approve exceptions that do not exceed the 12-hour maximum, and the library director must always approve the rare exceptions that exceed 12 hours per month.

In other business, the board approved a fee charge for renting the library's meeting rooms.

The fees include a $10 fee per hour for non-profit and non-commercial groups renting the meeting rooms, and a $40 fee per hour charge given to for-profit organizations renting meeting rooms.
