Patron Laminating Services
by Brzozowski, Erin 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

Hello, Please email me off list if you offer laminating services for patrons. I am looking to find out some of the following logistics: Do you charge a fee for laminating? (Flat cost, $/ft, etc) If a patron needs something laminated, do you laminate it that day or wait until a later date where you batch the jobs together? Does the patron fill out any sort of form? What would happen if the patron's item was damaged? Please let me know if there is anything else I should know that I have not considered. Thank you, Erin Brzozowski Eastern Branch Manager Jackson District Library 3125 E Michigan Ave Jackson, MI 49202 517-788-4074 brzozowskie(a)myjdl.com<mailto:brzozowskie@myjdl.com>
