SHARE strives to accommodate member libraries that experience financial difficulties and will make every attempt to work with members; however, there may be instances where a member account falls into a deficit condition when invoices for annual fees, products, services, or obligations to other member libraries are not paid.
If an invoice remains unpaid, the system will contact the Library Director, School Librarian, or Accounts Payable for resolution. If collection attempts are unsuccessful, a formal communication of non-payment may be sent to relevant stakeholders, including the member Library Director, School Librarian, Principal, Superintendent and/or Dean; Board President; and Board of Directors or School Board.
A member’s interlibrary loan privileges may be suspended by the SHARE Executive Council for failure to pay fees or dues 30 business days after receipt of a notice of nonpayment. If the balance is not resolved by the end of the fiscal year, membership may be revoked. Any such action will not relieve the member from its obligation to pay all monies owed to SHARE.
