The Ultimate Reading Challenge will be giving fine coupons as a prize. In past years, we handed out fine coupons for Summer Reading Program prizes. There are coupons out there for free book sale books.
If you are presented with a fine coupon:
- Fine coupons are only good for fines or “overdue item” fees. They cannot be used for replacement, damage, or processing fees.
- Coupon transactions are NOT put in the cash register. You will mark the amount “paid” with coupons as “coupons” from the payment drop-down menu. Coupon transactions will NOT go in the cash register. So for instance:
- Molly has $.90 in fines. She presents a $1 fine coupon. You would mark the fine as paid with a coupon on Polaris. There would be nothing else to do. We do not offer “change” for coupons. Do NOT enter it in the cash register.
- Molly has $1.50 in fines. She presents a $1 fine coupon and $0.50 cash. You would mark $1 in fines paid as a coupon in Polaris. You would mark the remaining $0.50 paid as cash in Polaris. You would ONLY enter $0.50 into the cash register.
- You can recycle the coupon after you have cleared the fee. We do not need to save them.
If you are presented with a book sale coupon:
- Take the coupon(s) in exchange for the item(s)from the book sale room.
- There is nothing to enter in the iPad cash register. You can recylce the book sale coupon. We do not need to keep the coupons.
The cash register/foundation register is only for real money (cash, credit cards, checks) – not coupons. The bank doesn’t want our fine coupons 🙂Â
