-Please forward to our library board...
Please improve our public library so that our library leadership doesn't
attempt to charge for library reference desk services, see also the John

Tried Pearl Street, Central Square Cambridge Public Library Reference Desk
didn't know about the manual !

there would be a charge for staff time to search for and compile such
documents. The Associate Librarian for reference Services would be the only
person qualified to conduct this research. The hourly charge would be
$36.00. It is possible that members of the Information Technology Department
may need to be involved if you are looking for inactive documents. Once you
are able to give me a scope for the documents you are seeking I will be
better able to give you a cost estimate for the search.
