Experiences with business Gmail
by Comstock Director 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

Hello Library Friends, I'm wondering if any libraries out there using business Gmail would be willing to share their experience with the email service. Does it work well for your library? Do you feel it is worth the pricing? Any pros and cons shared would be welcomed. My library desperately needs a new email service and, while our IT consultant has suggested installing our own Exchange server, I'm thinking Gmail would just be easier all around. I appreciate any experiences you may have to share. Thank you! --Emily Emily Kubash Director Comstock Township Library 6130 King Highway P.O. Box 25 Comstock, MI 49041 (269) 345-0136
