The Library's petty cash account is to reimburse employees for out-of-pocket purchases of low-value supplies and services. This is only for emergency purchases and if going through Library Purchasing is not possible. The expenses must be authorized by the Unit Head. The expenses must meet the same eligibility requirements as other Low-Value Purchase Order (LVPO) or BluCard purchases. They must be appropriate for the fund and chartstring to be charged.

Receipts will be required to receive Petty Cash reimbursements. No cash will be disbursed prior to purchase. Reimbursements may not exceed $25 per transaction.

No travel or entertainment purchases will be allowed to be reimbursed from the Petty Cash fund.
