Carrollton Public Library does not charge for research by librarians.
We receive so few questions by either mail or email that collecting
money would be more trouble than it's worth.  

 

The library charges $2.25 for shipping and handling ILL requests.  This
decision was made 7-8 years ago during the last economic downturn.

 

Thanks.

Although I asked this last year, in these changing times, I would like
to know once again if anyone is charging for research in their "public
library." Research can be defined as look-ups, obituaries, making
photocopies and looking for names from books, etc. I would especially
like to hear from Florida libraries, but will accept everyone's
response.

 

Please tell me the fees, time willing to spend, and how many photocopies
you provide.

 

Are you charging for interlibrary loans?

 

Did you recently make the decision to charge due to the economic
downturn?

 

Thanks.
