How does the library set its membership fee levels?
Income from membership fees makes a contribution to the running costs of the library, any shortfall between membership fee income and library costs is subsidised by RCVS Knowledge.
The fees are set at a level which we believe, in consultation with members, are reasonable and affordable. We also try to maintain a reasonable balance between the income raised, and the funding provided by RCVS Knowledge to sustain the Library service.
