<div dir="ltr">Our library just started using Square to accept credit card payments. The card reader is free and they only charge you 2.75% per swipe. We have our reader plugged into an iPad Mini where we can ring up purchases by category and have patrons sign their receipts with a stylus. It's very user-friendly and the money gets deposited into our bank account in a timely manner. Some libraries waive the surcharge per swipe for patrons, but we tack on the 2.75% surcharge and inform patrons of this beforehand. So far we are very happy with Square.<br> <br>Allison Ferguson<br>Director<br>Lyons Township District Library<br> <br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: ishwar@myjdl.com<br>To: lelandlibrary@lelandtownshiplibrary.org; michlib-l@mail.mcls.org<br>Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2014 13:03:52 +0000<br>Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Accepting credit card payments at the Library<br><br>
