In the Panhandle over 9 years ago, we charged $1.00 to send & $.25 to receive. Ink & paper were involved in receiving. But it took staff longer to send & most of the faxes were long distance, so I justified the 1.00 toward those costs. TPLS was instrumental in getting fax machines in all the system libraries, & in the small towns the library was often the only "fax in town". This is one of those services the library can recover costs, but not make a profit.

Does your library offer faxing service to patrons? How much do you charge? One of our member libraries wants to know. Thanks.
