WESTERN PLAINS LIBRARY SYSTEM
USE OF MICRO-FILM READER/PRINTER

Micro-film/fiche reader-printers have been placed in both Clinton and Weatherford Public Libraries for use by the entire system. (There are Microfilm/fiche readers at Cheyenne, Cordell, Seiling and Thomas.)
Charge per page for printing wither fiche or film will be twenty-five cents. The money obtained from the sale of copies is used to help defray the cost of supplies and service contracts which will be handled by WPLS.
Other libraries in Western Plains Library System which have micro-film/fiche may request copies be made for the library patrons at either the Clinton or Weatherford Libraries. The patron requesting the copies will pay the twenty-five cents per page for the copying. The requesting patron should designate page(s) to be copied. The library staff does not have time to research and find material in the newspaper microfilm which is not indexed.
There will be no time limits imposed on the use of the micro-film/fiche reader printers unless there are a number of people wanting to use the machine and waiting to do so. In that event, the first patron to arrive at the library will be allowed one hour maximum use of the machine and must relinquish it to the next patron who in turn will have one hour use, etc. Equal time, in so far as possible, must be allowed for all patrons wishing to use the equipment.

MONEY COLLECTION AND RECORD KEEPING PROCEDURE: Librarians at Clinton and Weather ford should keep a record of all copies made. Payment for the copies must be made in cash at the time that the copies are made. The only exception is the charge for copies made for other libraries in the system which may not have known how many pages would be requires and did not send enough money to cover the cost. The requesting librarian should be told how much is owed and payment should be made as soon as possible.
The record of copy money should be returned in once a month to the WPLS Service Center designated personnel.
