We also do not charge for scanning. More and more companies are requiring scans rather than fax. Since it involves no supplies, it is free to our public. My staff and I use it all the time for sending items places. My fax eats up toner like crazy. I am glad to let patrons use the scanner instead.

Our library is finding that more and more patrons use our copy machine to scan documents to email, and I’m beginning to wonder if this is a way to avoid fax charges. Are other libraries are experiencing this and if so are you charging for scans?
Thanks for your feedback.

I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries. ~Carl Sagan, Cosmos
