[Genealib] Charges for Obituaries

[Mara Munroe]

$5.00 per obit or other article for folks who are not in our local
library system.  Payment in advance, and only 6 items per request.
Before we developed this policy, folks looked at our 140 year newspaper
obit index and asked for every obit for a surname at once.  This pushes
them to plan their research, and work back methodically the way we all
keep telling them to.

I am curious as to what other libraries charge for copying obituaries.
I am interested in the fees for requests by mail and email that you
would receive at your library.
