Checks as Payment

If a patron is paying fees by check:

1.) Make sure the check is made out to the Benicia Public Library or Benicia Library. Solano County is not acceptable.

2.) Write the patron's library card number (or the number of the account that they're paying on) someplace on the check. The note line is good, but if they've used it, the card number will usually fit someplace up by the address.

3.) Ring up the check in the cash register with the "Checks" key (not "Charge" or "Cash", please!).

If a patron is paying for anything else by check, make sure it is made out to the appropriate agency, such as Friends of the Benicia Library for booksale items (check goes in the payment box, not our cash register), or any other designation that may apply to tickets for an event, etc.
