In Rochester, MN in the late 90s we charged $5.00 for a 30 day guest card, mostly for (nonresident) people in town for Mayo Clinic who wanted email access.

I have never heard of a library charging their own tax payers for this basic service.

I am horrified enough by those of you who charge "rental fees" to check out DVDs.

Good luck Sylvia.

Can you please tell me how much you charge (e.g. $5 for 60 minutes), and what your yearly revenue from those charges are on your budget. And, also what about the staff time involved in monitoring this activity: worth the investment of time?
Thanks.
