How to setup Koha for monthly rental reading fee?
Hi, We are in the setup of Koha system for our circulation library. How to setup Koha where we can collect monthly reading fee. In this setup, the patron can check out/check a 1/2/3 book(s) any number of times within a month. When he/she finishes one month of duration of membership, they should pay the monthly reading rental fee. 1. I tried to use Fines and Circulation rules module. It is possible to setup fine if a patron has crossed the number of days he/she supposed to keep the book or items. But how to make if possible depending on the duration? I meant if the "Loan Period" is crossed the "Fine Amount" is applicable. But this is based on the items crossing the time limit. Is it possible to modify this in such a way that, I can apply this for one month duration? 2. Also I tried with Enrollment fee in the Patron Category. Is it possible to repeat this on every month basis? Request for your kind help. I hope you understood my requirement.

Hi Raosoma, I guess other gurus on the list may give you a better idea but the only way I could think of now is to have the period of membership set to one month.
