Charging for Library Services?

The Library Garden blog recently had a post about charging for some premium library services, such as books by mail or a rental collection for popular items. Check out the post here (http://librarygarden.blogspot.com/2009/06/freemium-or-should-libraries-charge-for.html). What do you think of that idea? Should libraries consider offering some of their premium services for a fee? Share your thoughts in the comments section!

Youth Services Section

The Wisconsin Library Association's Youth Services Section (YSS) advocates for professional empowerment, collaboration, and innovative, inclusive, and intentional service. To that end, YSS provides a forum and resources for people in Wisconsin's libraries who share a commitment to serving children and young adults, their parents, caregivers, and teachers.

It is a vital, dynamic group whose interests focus on providing quality library service and encouraging literacy and library use. YSS members include public and school library staff, library trustees and library supporters who work together to benefit youth in Wisconsin.
