Fees
by Sarah Skinner 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

Hello, Michigan Library Folks! Does your library rent out spaces for meetings/parties/presentations (community room, etc.)? What kind of fee do you charge? Bonus points if you have a policy that you can email me! I am in the process of revising some policies and wanted to see what other libraries are charging. I am also wondering what you charge for copies at your library. We have not raised our fees in over 25 years so it may be time! Do you charge for scanning and faxing as well? Thank you in advance for any information you can provide! Kind regards, Sarah Skinner, MLIS Executive Director (she/her) *"The most important asset of any library goes home at night – the library staff." ~**Timothy Healy*
