They don't charge patrons anything; they do it as part of their regular duties. The library is the one that carries the insurance, paid for them to complete paperwork/training, buys supplies, etc. The only advice I have is make sure that patrons talk to the notary before coming in for several reasons: so the notary will be there when they are planning on coming in, so they can tell patrons what they need to bring and what not to sign on the form, whether the notary has a raised seal, etc. We are considering having several of our branch managers throughout the county become notaries.</div><div>Good Luck!</div><div><span name="x"></span><div>Janelle<br></div><div><br></div><div>Janelle Martin<br>Head of Fiction<br>Marguerite deAngeli Library<br>Lapeer District Library</div><div>921 W.
