Do any of the libraries offer travel stipends to program presenters? Or gas cards? As the district, we try to do this; however, various branches have either had the Friends offer a gas card, or the Friends think all programs should be free, that there should be no incentive to the program presenter. I would like to see us be more consistent with what we offer, but also financially manageable for each of the Friends groups and/or library. Also, we were thinking of a stipend price for in-district presenters vs. out-of-district presenters. These would be programs where someone, maybe local, comes in and talks about bees, or quilting, etc. Not the BIG programs where a fee is negotiated up front in scheduling the presenter that around $350 or more. Open to discussion and seeing what other libraries/friends do. Amber Alexander,MLIS Library Director Presque Isle District Library 181 E.
