3D Printed Guns?
by Devin Erlandson 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Some food for thought: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2018/08/01/are-they-dead… We're mostly well-aware that in Michigan we cannot create policies that ban guns from our libraries. Can we ban guns from being 3D printed? I'm not 100% sure the answer is so cut-and-dried. Is this something that's on your radar? -- Devin Erlandson, MLIS (she/her) Assistant Director Allegan District Library 269-673-4625 alleganlibrary.org

Re: [Michlib-l] Charging for faxing
by Dorothy Fent 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

At Lapeer District Library we charge $1.00 for the service + .25 per page. We provide a cover letter if patron would like, but count that as a page when sending. We do not prepare items that are being sent, we simply send what the patron has prepared.
