Ka-ching! These are your fines.

Since you’ve been dutifully setting your database up in order, you already did your borrower types. If you’ve been naughty, you need to set your borrower categories before doing this table, or bad things will happen. Of course, if you decide to add a new category later, you need to come back here and edit your fines if applicable.

You also need to set up your item types before messing with this. Again, you can always change things later if you need to add something new.

You probably are looking at a whole bunch of

   0,,

The tables look scary, but they really aren’t. The numbers I have in the Non Resident and Adult columns are

   0.1,1,1

Of course decimals are okay. For ppl using , as decimal separator (like in France), please use the "." here anyway. The , is to separate the 3 numbers.

If they are okay, what this does is charge 10 cents a day, after one day of grace, every day.

Suppose you don’t want to charge fines on children’s books. Since you’re clever, you’ve made an item type (possibly several) for your children’s books. Look at the item type you made for children’s books on the left of the table. Going horizontally across the table, KEEP the default of 0,,. Suppose you want to charge a buck a day for late videos after one day of grace. No problem, go to the video item type and type

   1, 1, 1

Got it? Having the fines linked to both borrower type and item type allows a library to charge a certain type of borrower for a certain type of item, but not necessarily a different type of borrower for the same type of item. Or one can charge for a certain item type regardless of the sort of borrower. There are lots of possibilities here.
