Many branches were closed down. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-library-requests#post-1090236 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 13:14:15 +0000 PurplePeony 1090236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Yikes! I can sort of understand having a small fee for acquisitions, but it seems like placing holds should just be part of regular library business! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-library-requests#post-1090183 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:53:50 +0000 regberadaisy 1090183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: all of the above is viewed the same by our county library system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-library-requests#post-1090171 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:51:31 +0000 PurplePeony 1090171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Requests as in the staff pulling the book and holding it or bringing it to one branch from another branch for you? Or as in, the library doesn't own a copy of the book you want so you're asking them to buy one? We have no fee for the former, but I have no idea about the latter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-library-requests#post-1090123 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:36:20 +0000 birdofafeather 1090123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! totally free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-library-requests#post-1090091 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:29:35 +0000 fancyfunction 1090091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh that's annoying.

I'd have to add library fees as a budget item if they did that to us! I'm always requesting books.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-for-library-requests#post-1089965 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 11:45:38 +0000 regberadaisy 1089965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used to but about a year ago there were budget cuts and now there is a fee to request physical books but not e books. </p>
