[Genealib] Payments

[MPL Genealogy]

Dusty,

We require pre-payment by check or money order before we send the copies. We
have not had too much trouble with checks bouncing that I know of.

We charge a small fee for copying and mailing requests.  In the last year we
have had almost every request answered from the mail, where the patron said
"bill me," remain unpaid.  We have also had a number of out-of-state checks
used to pay this fee, bounce.
I am curious about other libraries -- Is this a trend elsewhere?
