Sylvia: Please post what you find out. I didn't think any public library was charging for internet I would be very interested to know how many there are in the state.<br>

Can you please tell me how much you charge (e.g. $5 for 60 minutes), and what your yearly revenue from those charges are on your budget. And, also what about the staff time involved in monitoring this activity: worth the investment of time?
<br>
<br>
Thanks. <br>
