My experience in previous job was that I didn't get to decide whether they got removed, the local phone company did.  They left one in the branch in our lowest income neighborhood because it made enough money. I had four phones removed with no notice at all.  So good luck with that.    Connie

How many libraries out there still have pay phones in their buildings? 


If you have gotten rid of them what has been the public response? 


If you still have them do you know how often they are used?  Do you pay a monthly usage fee to a phone company?  A private  maintenance company?


Thanks!
