Fines Fund Policy

The Library Fines Fund, a special revenue fund, was established under SDCL 14-2-41 as interpreted in the South Dakota Attorney General’s Opinion 82-33 as a repository for funds generated through gifts to and fees collected by the Library. The funds are to be retained by the Library Board to be used to support the operations of the library in excess of the funds generated through tax levies.
