They can be held for in-house pick-up, they check out for one week, have no grace period, and have an overdue fee of $1 per day. When one is kept past due, we turn off service and send a reminder to the patron to return the hotspot. The time it takes the vendor to process the shut off or turn on service request can be up to 48 hours. Service is also not adjusted during weekend hours. Due to the high demand and length of time it can take to get a late hotspot back into circulation, we no longer feel a $1 per day overdue fee is sufficient to encourage timely returns. After discussion with the Head of Circulation, we suggest an increase to a $5 per day overdue fee. Update: At the November Board meeting, the request was made to find out how much the hotspots cost annually. - $600 yearly for five hot spots. That is $120/year each, or $10 per month each. o Three check out through regular circulation for a week at a time and two are set as vacation hotspots and check out for a two -week period by reservation only, with a limit of two uses per patron, per year. o We are mainly concerned about the three that circulate regularly but would update overdue fees for all five to stay consistent. • Fines and Charges Policy Overdue Fines Fines are charged for items that are returned after their due date. Fines for DVDs/audiovisual materials, video games, launchpads, eReaders, in-house equipment, hot spots, and Interlibrary Loan materials are $1.00 per day that the library is open. Explore passes are $50 per day that the library is open. Fines for books and all other material are $0.15 per day that the library is open, unless specifically noted otherwise. No overdue fines will be assessed on children's materials checked out on cards belonging to patrons under the age of eighteen. The maximum overdue fine for any item returned in good condition is $10.00 or the replacement price, whichever is less. Replacement Costs Patrons with long overdue (60 days overdue), damaged, or lost library materials will be charged the purchase price as the replacement cost. The Library does not accept replacement copies of lost or damaged materials. No refunds are given if lost materials are found after having been paid for; the materials are the property of the individual who paid for them. Replacement Library Card The replacement fee for a library card is $1.00. Minors need to have a parent or legal guardian present to get a replacement card. Denial of borrowing privileges Borrowing privileges will be denied when a user: • Has unpaid fines or charges of $10.00 or more • Has moved and left no forwarding address Charges for printing The charge for photocopying and printing is $0.10 per page for B&W, and $0.25 per page for color.

It will be voted on by the Library Board at the December 2025 meeting, to go into effect January 2026. The Action Plan is a one-year plan that outlines the Library' set of goals (and action items to meet those goals) for the year. At the August Library Board meeting you received an update on the status of the 2025 Action Plan. The Action Plan is derived from the 5 year Strategic Plan, that was approved by the Board in December 2023. The Strategic Plan is a great representation of feedback from the Muskego Community! We had 3,787 contact points from patrons (including surveys, testimonials, focus groups, and visual boards for voting on topics). With all of the community data gathered from the strategic planning process, it means our Action Plans will be well informed. The Head of Reference and I spoke with the staff in November about priorities they see for the coming year, and consulting the 5 Year Strategic Plan. We then brought the draft of this plan before the Strategic Planning Committee for review. Key C = Complete - An action item that is fully done and does not need to be reviewed for at least two years. IP = In Progress - An action item that has steps being taken towards completion. D = Deferred - An action item that cannot be started in the scheduled year and will be moved to a different year. 0 = On going - An action item that is reoccurring annually. 2026 Action Plan The purpose of the Muskego Public Library Action Plan is to provide a list of actions (projects, tasks, or ideas) designed to improve the library building and services. All actions relate back to the strategic initiatives and goals from the Library's current Strategic Plan. Actions submitted under each goal are projects that will have an endpoint and supplement Library staff's routine (daily) operational duties on behalf of the community.
