If your fines and/or fees are collected by someone else in your building or district, do you ever see that money to buy replacement books? Our bookstore can collect library fees for lost material, but if a student or parent pays the bookstore, I was told the
money has to roll over into the general income fund and cannot be put into an account for the library to use to purchase new/replacement materials. So a student can lose a book and pay, but I never get money to buy a new copy of the book.
