Fax Cost Limit
by Brian Johnston 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Hello Everyone, Does your library have a cap on what you charge patrons for faxes? For example, maybe you charge $1 per page but no matter how many pages it is, you never charge more than, say, $10? If so, please let me know how you came to the decision to do that and how it was received by staff and patrons. Thanks, Brian R. Johnston Adult Services Librarian Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W. John Beers Road Stevensville, MI 49127 (269) 429-9575 bjohnston(a)lincolnlib.org
