[Genealib] Charges for Obituaries

[joyhennig at aol.com]

Worcester Public Library inplemented an e mail reference servuce a few years ago and before long we were inundated with requests for obituaries, many-we suspected-from professional researchers.?Since we began asking for a "suggested" donation of $5.00 per name, volume has dropped off considerably and is now at a manageable level.-

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.
