In order for the Minerva consortium to meet its expenses, member libraries must pay their annual dues in a timely manner.
Bills will be sent to the address provided by the member library in April or May but no later than May 15th each year and payment will be due by August 1st of that same year.
An overdue notice will be sent to the address provided by the member library if payment is not received by September 15th of that same year. Reminder phone calls may also be made to the official contact person of the library in question.
If payment is not received by November 1st of that same year, the member library’s passwords to the consortium and access to open lending will be suspended until payment is made. A fee equal to 10% of the current annual dues will be assessed, in addition to the annual dues, to lift the suspension.
If payment is not received by December 31st of that year, the Minerva Executive Board may vote to remove the library from the consortium for nonpayment.
Approved by vote of Minerva membership: April 15, 2009
